There were days when ladies
used to play all in white
Not a stain of grass
Now their colours, no longer
angelic, branded and coloured bright
Six large buttons and a collar
In the days when dresses were pleated
Long, hiding ladies knees
Now hemlines creeping upwards
So women can slide with ease
Ladies become women
And buttons become zips
But the pleasure of playing
tennis will never change.
