Tennis Math Poem

game, set, match

15, 30, 40 love,
This game is played,
Without a glove…
There’s no bat,
There’s 1 ball,
Got 1 net,
That’s not all
Played on grass,
Or played on clay!
Takes 2 rackets,
What I say!

Got 1 court,
Not 1 field,
With white, right angles,
Court is sealed…
Get 2 serves,
Game, set, match,
Tennis time,
Is what you’ll catch…
