SPRARGIEUNLRYNTE – RETURNING PLAYERS

Good Morning, Everyone!             🎾 TOO LITTLE, TOO LET? 🎾

🎶 RETURN to me..Please come back Bella Mia…Hurry back, hurry home to my arms, to my lips and my heart…🎶

🎾🎾 A Tennis ball SPIRALs as it sails through the air
One hopes it don’t FALTER before it gets there…
I GIGGLE because as this story UNFOLDs
I’m thinking that I don’t fit in this mold.
My tennis ability’s FINITE at best, not something I ever perfected
“Take thee to the WINERY“s more my MO
(And the meter needs to be corrected…) 🎾🎾

Ok, so the rhythm’s a little OUT of sync,  I admit. Not my best SERVE. But I’m having a RALLY hard time trying to get my POINT across to someone this morning, and I’m a little UPSET. But I’m sure it’ll PASS…OK, today’s words are beauties, as we’d say in Brooklyn. They’re all RETURNing favorites, with the anagrams being different…So, I guess that makes them what? MIXED DOUBLES? Sorry, I couldn’t resist! I just had to TOSS it OUT there! Ok, LET’s SWING over to our cartoon: We’re at a Tennis match, seeing a couple SCRATCHing their heads in bewilderment. Well not literally, but they are at a disADVANTAGE, because the COURT is JAMMED. It must be a RALLY nice place. I guess they thought they could just WALK OVER and play, but au contraire, my Dears! They may have needed “a reservation” as the dialogue tells us. Good POINT. And as the woman looks around, she’s DRAWing in some “familiar faces” among the players…Hmm…They’ve all been here before? And now they’ve RETURNed?..“RETURNING PLAYERS“? CROSS OVER to the WINning side, we’re done! Good LOB, Dave! And Jeff, your DRAWing once again, QUALIFIES too! You guys are ACES! Ok, eye candy. What will be my SWEETSPOT today? The STIFFNESS of the face of the player at right? The STANCE of the woman player? (Or her tongue BREAKing through her lips)? No, LET’s go once again, with something we’ve had beFOREHAND…Two woman? In the FRAME SHOT? You’ve guessed it! They’re both wearing Purple! Ladies, I ask you…Do ANY of us LOVE the color THAT much???
So, there you have it, Folks, Done!

Have a great day, Everyone! And remember…Sometimes we just need to get a GRIP. Because, somewhere DOWN THE LINE? Before we reach that BREAK POINT? ALLways look for the ALTERNATE solution, and trust your GUT.
BYE, BYE…🎾🙋🏻
