Matt Harvey, Wimbledon’s official poet laureate

In commemoration of the longest recorded tennis match in history, Matt Harvey, Wimbledon’s official poet laureate — what?penned this haiku:

High performance play.

All day and yet no climax.

It’s tantric tennis.

(thanks, Amy)

    Here’s Randy Taylor’s haiku:

    Tennis in England.
    Six hundred pound of pussies.
    Pass me the sausage.

    ace.

    I’m Jimmy Dean’s official poet laureate.

  4. Deron Bauman on June 24th, 2010 at 8:25 pm

    I want a eat, goddammit.

  5. Cindy Scroggins on June 24th, 2010 at 8:27 pm

    Change that to Six hundred pound a pussies.

    That Wimbledon poet laureate says he wants us all to Twitter him haikiu lines. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know about Randy Taylor, though.

    you’ll be rich!

    This is killing me — for oh so many reasons.

  9. Cindy Scroggins on June 24th, 2010 at 8:32 pm

    I don’t care how rich I get, I’m not buying two 12-ounce packages of goddamn sausage. You tell me how you can take and feed a family of five on a goddamn 12 ounce package of sausage? It can’t be done.

    and a woman who’s a plump Scotch girl. fuck sake.

  11. Cindy Scroggins on June 24th, 2010 at 8:34 pm

    Sheila, you should Twitter that English poet laureate feller. I think he’s looking for ideas.

  12. Cindy Scroggins on June 24th, 2010 at 8:35 pm

    How much does the 13-year-old eat, I wonder. There is still a lot we don’t know.

  13. Deron Bauman on June 24th, 2010 at 8:37 pm

    Jimmy Dean Sausage is for Southern people to eat with their breakfast. I know that much.

  14. Cindy Scroggins on June 24th, 2010 at 8:37 pm

    My next haiku:

    This Randy Taylor.
    I wont the sixteen ounce size.
    No maple and sage.

  15. Cindy Scroggins on June 24th, 2010 at 8:38 pm

    Maybe that should be no maple NOR sage. That’s funnier.

  16. Cindy Scroggins on June 24th, 2010 at 8:40 pm

    I wonder what that feller means by Climax.

  17. Deron Bauman on June 24th, 2010 at 8:50 pm

    I’ll just have my own damn sausage made like I used to thirty something years ago.

  18. Sheila Ryan on June 24th, 2010 at 10:09 pm

    Somebody needs their ass kicked
    I’m a Texas man
    I want to eat, godammit

  19. Sheila Ryan on June 24th, 2010 at 10:10 pm

    Alternate version:

    Somebody needs their ass kicked
    I’m not from the North
    I want to eat, godammit

    Wimbledon Haiku:

    The constant motion
    Orbs sway in play. Clearly her
    tube top hid nothing
