Wimbledonic Life....

The picture conveys to me a very "proper" audience standing behind ropes at a distance , like they show when they have state visits at the White house, or when they show those noble folks at Wimbledon, in hats and coats, enjoying the game...)

Organized spectators
heads covered
in the approved
British Milliner's style
like
green box hats
and stuff;
crowding together,
standing in heels
feet together,
hands clasped in front
of their
top coats.




The mild breeze
swishing leaves
this way and that,
as the necks
move in Unision
watching,
not a tennis ball,
but
free birds
and squirrels
an occasional
kid with a frisbee....

All
watching
on a great summer day,
the
Wimbledon of life.....
