YMD asked for a verse about the Man in The Hat in the players box.
I didn’t know where else to post it.
well YMD how about this.
His name is David Shearing and is the longest serving honorary Steward at Wimbledon. When he is not at the tennis he lives in Abu Dhabi.His job is to make sure everyone is in the right place and assist the players representatives ( from that I assume he is not able to tell them to shut up)
I think this is a video of him

Now here is my Verse with apologies to Dr Seuss ( the Cat in the Hat)
THE MAN IN THE HAT.
I like to be here.
I like it a lot.
Said the man in the hat to the coach in the box.
I will not go away.
I do not wish to go.
And so said the man in the hat.
so so so.
I will show you another good game that I know
( how about I teach you Deaf sign language?)

Yeats, Ginsberg, Dylan, …. Stella. If I was high, I bet I could find the meaning of the universe in your words.
Seriously, you don’t need to apologize to Seuss, because that was very good! Thank You!

I could probably do W B Yeats, Frost, Wordsworth, Masefield, but for sure not Ginsberg.
4 days to go ( Nouni verse tomorrow) so maybe I should be reading some Dylan Thomas
