This is an ode to Lleyton

He is my favourite star

And one thing we know for sure

He is definitely going to go far

He has already made the big time

While winning in the USA

And we know he will win some more

Whatever the "experts" say

They said he wouldn’t win a thing

But he loves to prove them wrong

And I hope he wins again sometime

Before too very long

C’mon Rocky we hear him shout

It makes us laugh out loud

And when he starts to yell it

He always wins over the crowd

Goldilocks was his nickname

With his lovely curly hair

But when he shaved it all away

He didn’t lose his flair

Baggy shorts he wears

Every time he plays

What a clip he looks

Is what my mam always says

However she loves him just as much

It really makes her day

Watching Lleyton playing his match

Wondering what he might say

The umpires have a rough old time

While officiating at his game

Because he always shouts at them

His matches are never tame

He has a lovely baseball cap

He wears it back to front

And when he wears his lucky cap

For titles he is in the hunt

He had a little argument

With a Spanish man

Who smashed a ball into his head

Of Corretja I am not a fan

The mark remains upon his cap

Where Lleyton got hit in the head

But instead of throwing it back at him

Lleyton won the match instead

I never will forget the day

When he won the final of Stella

He walloped old Pete Sampras

And made him look like an old fella

Another match that comes to mind

Was in the French Open last year

Canas was up to sets

And I started to fear

I had to take the day off work

Because it got too late to play

But Lleyton turned the match around

On that Monday in May

I have taken a lot of holidays

To watch this fave of mine

Because I know he tries his best

Every single time

Every game he starts to play

He gives his very best

And even Andre Agassi

Finds Lleyton a very big test

Tim Henman could not beat him

Of this there is no doubt

Because he just not as good

As all of England found out

Poor old Lleyton lost his match

At Wimbledon last time

To horrible old Escude

I think this was a crime

It spoilt the whole tournament

With no-one left to support

We had to cheer for Pat Rafter

As he is an Aussie as well we thought

I had to write this little poem

To say how much we feel

About Lleyton Hewit who is the best

To us he is the real deal

So good luck Lleyton in all you do

You have already achieved a lot

Being number one at your young age

You really are quite hot

I hope you win Wimbledon

One day before too long

And stay at number one forever

You know it is where you belong
