RF's:
Safin's in Red But Agassi's blue-- Cos Rog has his number And Juanqui does too
mine:
I first noticed Rogi When he beat Pistol Pete Looking great in his white outfit And lovely hair so neat I love all of his necklaces and every shirt looks great on him I love when his bandana Makes him looks so neat and trim His eyes just want to make you melt and make your heart beat faster Not only is he so damn sexy He is the Hamnburg Master And so I followed Rogi Around the world on my TV And aimlessly dreamed That he'd fall in love with me But I knew that wouldnt happen coz he has a classy girl But all the same he'll never stop my stomach getting in a whirl So I just sat back and enjoyed his game how beautiful it is to see And I will be his fan forever He's the world number 1 to be
Vera's:
These 8 guys, in Shanghai, fighting for tennis supremacy Andre's gonna fail so miserably, when he faces Rogi and Juanqui The Chinese'll be amazed, bcos the New Balls going to take Baldy's place They better watch Andre play, he is going to stay only 3 days.

It is back!;D
Vera:
I am a tennis addict, Juanqui is my fave I watch all his matches on telly, because he can really play He wracked Baldy, in front of the frenchy, he made it looks so easy I have faith, he'll win RG, and be King of clay one day.
Mine:
Nico is a saucepot Id love to eat him all He looks so very sexy just hitting a tennis ball I dont see him very often on my TV it makes me sad He's the most gorgeous looking man Ecaudor has ever had!

lol my love poem!
walking along the deserted beach with no one else around I turn to you and take your hand I cant believe that I have found A love so strong when I stare into your deep and soulful eyes And when you whisper in my ear you take me up above the skies When I feel your heartbeat I cry because I know I have to make the most of it before I have to go I must come down from heaven One kiss one last time Now Im gone I want you to know In my heart you will be mine
RF:
Rogi, graceful, smooth
Slicing, floating, fleet of foot
Dazzles with his shots.
My Liverpool-Basle poem
Rogi is a Basle fan Whilst I love Liverpool One of these will be knocked out On Tuesday night,how cruel I can't describe the tension Im so excited I cant wait Until the 12th of November At around quarter to eight. You'll never walk alone Will be sang around the stands What a wonderful atmosphere Echoing around the stands And when my boys in red line up When the whistle has been blown No one else can help them They're out there on their own. But playing in the Champions League Is an experience or so it seems I want to say may the best side win Good luck to both the teams!

One of yours Mrs.B! For Roger it's not an obsession it's more admiration cuz i really love to watch whenever you play a match your backhand is a beauty so is your forehand and your volley and on any given day you'd serve aces on the T i've always loved this game long before i knew your name and now i enjoy it even more and you inspire me to play better than before it may sound silly coming from me but i'd really like to meet you one day for a chance to personally say thank you for the tennis that you play My poem about my grandad it makes me all sad again just reading it! This to my grandad In loving memory of you I know that you'll be proud of me In everything I do I know you're watching over me From up there in the sky And when I think what I have lost I cannot help but cry I think about you all the time But know Im not alone I know you think about me too So I wont be on my own People knew what a loving man you are could tell just by your smile This I dedicate to you Love your first grandchild RF: Dreamy Roger, glide Whips a forehand down the line Smiling to himself.

Lily: Just a few days til the Master's begins our fingers crossed to hope that he wins The youngest of eight the first Swiss in years we know win or lose we'll see lots of tears His dancer like moves will stun all of Shanghai his angel good looks will make all the girls sigh Go for the gold Rogi! and have fun all the same wow all the people there just play your best game RF: Cliffie, nice accent Loves Alex and our Rogi Fair, unbiased, neat. Mine: You are unique Theres no one like you Feel good and take pride In all that you do Theres someone worse off No matter how bad You think your life is So always be glad For the simple things maybe you're lucky to own And the people around you You're never alone Its very important That the love that you find is not only outgoing But is your peace of mind Love yourself and be happy Thats the key to success And always remeber You are the best! and this is all that I have for now!Will be looking forward to recieving some more RF!

Wow, we still have them. That's pretty amazing. All tributes to Rogi. The guy should read all of these and give everyone front row tickets to one of his matches, all expenses paid.

lol Hackie good idea about the tickets Mrs.B!He should hand out 1 for every poem!

You were the teenage underdog When pistol Pete came crashing Your persistance and your awesome game made his grand slam run take a bashing You were dressed in your white tennis clothes And dropped down to the floor You celebrated and shed a tear And looked hungry for more Thats when you were propelled to fame After this legendary win Onto the quarter-finals Couldn't wait for it to begin It might have been one game too far But you did the best you could No one could complain at all Be proud of yourself you should You've come such a long way from then Everybody knows your name Your oppenents are wary of you And the way you play your game A serve and volley player With every shot thats in the book All these things made me notice you And not the way you look But now I come to mention it You're a gorgeous guy indeed And now you're in the Masters Cup We know you can succeed No one can deny your talent Thats why you can win a Grand Slam You make tennis so exciting Love a doting fan
Lily:
From January to November from Australia to Shanghai his name is Cliffy Drysdale we're blessed to have this guy
He has a soft sweet accent he's a sparkling ray of light but when he gets PatMac in the booth they always start a fight
A friendly hello, he always says from whatever country he's in we'll see you again next year Cliffy goodbye our tennis friend
Lily again: What is it about the bandana
that always makes me stare
maybe how it frames the face
or how it hugs the hair
It comes in many colors
from snow white to midnight black
it has to match the outfit perfectly
looking good from front to back
Is it just a coincidence
that two of my favorite guys
both wear this with the cutest smiles
and who have the kindest eyes
You have to be a warrior
with all the grace and class
you have to have the attitude
which means not being an as_
I'm addicted to the bandana
i'm not ashamed to say
i love to see the guys touch theirs
in that very special way
Vera:
You and me, we come here to cheer for JC and Rogi Juanqui plays aggressively, backhands, passing shotsare beauties Rogi plays with variety, forehand's great, he serves and volleys Comes tuesday, JC plays Rogi, we'll be here, let's party

Mrs.B:(although she says she never wrote it ) dr letscht blick usem fänschter am abe dr verschleieret troum dunkli schatte dunkelheit, dr wächsel vor tagezyt dr mond d'stärne d' decki tröime, kuschle ruhige musig wärme händ gspüre dr mittelpunkt vo mire poesie gäh, näh wäggah, widercho glücklech sii.. Lily: And so it ends today Rogi's great and rocky year let's share with him this time with a smile, with a tear A win in Sydney started it it seems so long ago a close match with Haas was next little did we know An awesome week in Miami A memorable match with Lleyt his first masters series final but a win would have to wait Moving to the red stuff we weren't expecting much Hamburg was the sweetest win showing his clay touch Then there was some chatter a fave for French he became but pressure and some tiredness got the best of Rogi's game A couple weeks to Wimby a sure thing the experts said then some croatian qualifier put an end to the grassy bed The slump continued into the summer we wondered when it would end before we had a chance to find out Rogi had lost a dear friend A very emotional Open a kiss to the sky above we all could feel his sadness so we sent him lots of love The indoor season had arrived hopes were very high A Vienna win, a moving speech made all his fans cry Moving closer to his dream being in the final eight he clinched his place in Paris with revenge that was so great In Shanghai he played his best the boy with the golden touch he moved into the semi's where Hewitt proved too much He left the court with a smile the people were on their feet next year when he's in Houston he'll be the one to beat And so it ends today this great and rocky year see you again next year Rogi with a smile, with a tear

There it stands all alone glittering in the fading light I lay in bed and wonder what will be placed under my tree tonight. No-one really knows what I desire to be given to me this year And then I sit up straight because My mum and dad I overhear "Do you think she'll like her present?" "Its certainly a suprise" And when I open my huge gift box I cant believe my eyes. How did they get him here? And right on Christmas day? Ive got him all to myself And wont let him go astray. Did I forget to mention what my parents got for me? A sexy Swiss named Roger Who squatted underneath my tree!

lol I got suprise number 7 btw ones without any names at top are mine Dressed up in your outfit Holding your bouquet of flowers Enjoying the atmosphere Counting down the hours Until you hit the tennis court Then Shanghai is set alight The day is drawing ever closer I cant wait til tuesday night How did I forget to mention In you red coat you look so great And now youre all in Shanghai you Truly belong in the top 8 looking back at 2002 You've come such a long way You've played and tried your very best Until the very last day No-one could ask for anymore You gave your heart and soul For your family,friends and fans You will achieve your goals You've picked up so many admirers On your tour over the globe From you red T-shirt in Sydney To your red Shanghai silky robe 3 titles held to your name this year A masters series dont forget And everyone in the tennis world Can sense a grand slam yet! So congratulations you've done us proud Every single match throughout this year And all we hope that a potato peeling Is very very near you've done us proud

I didnt think that you were capable Of lying to my friends And spreading things I didnt say And now our friendship ends
You said things behind my back to people To the boy I liked and my best mates And nobody would talk to me You left me in a state
I didnt want to go to school Speak to me no-one would And when I got those prank phone calls Ignore you is what I should
But now people found out the truth A new circle of friends Ive made And I think you have learnt you're lesson But the dirty looks you gave
They hurt me but now who is the one Who has no body,you are alone You dont bother me you are worse off And in my mind I know
That although I cant forgive you I cant help but feel numb But Ive nothing to do with you again Because of what you've done
Down in London where Ive been The courts are empty The grass is green This time of year Theres no one round In 6 months or so you'll see the crowd most come to cheer for Greg and Tim But Im for you I think you'll win but if you dont one year it'll come you've graced my land and i feel numb in the capital you can conquer i for one will be going bonkers but just to see you in wimbledon will be awesome but when you're gone i know you'll return and play your best thats all i ask to see zip and zest so dont let Hewitt retain his crown I want to see you knock him down if you dont win this year i dont care all thats important is that you're there

So now that I have Roger I asked him could he do a deal Could he send Hackie, Michel Id feed him an extra x-mas meal He said he'd think about it and then picked up his mobile phone And rang his friend in Switzerland Who was sat home alone. Michel didnt need to be asked twice He hopped right on the plane To USA to find his girl And Hackie was her name. And when they met,they embraced Then Hackie took him home So christmas worked out wonderfully As soon as these two were alone
My powers of persuasion are hard at work again This time I write an e-mail my intentions are the same To get a guy for x-mas For my other friend called Lee And what turned up in my inbox was a suprise,even to me! I had recieved a mail from Guga Who had turned up on Lee's door This was better than the x-mas prezzie She'd recieved the year before! Now they're eating dinner In the romatintic candlelight But lets leave it there because the day Is turning into night!

lol I thought it might be Hackie Its now a month later And by popular demand There is someone bugging me To take him off my hands I know he doesnt want to go He wants me to himself But I told him not to be greedy He can have someone else But only for her birthday, A special birthday treat Forget traditional birthday cake Rogi tastes more sweet. Crying, I packed his suitcase RF was tearing us apart As soon as he walked through the door He took away my heart. But Rogi forgot about me When he walked out of my life Only 1 year later RF became his wife! How could she do this to me? Id just lent her my man So she sent me a sexy Italian with long black hair and a tan Mrs.B and hubby strolling on the sand How very romantic walking hand in hand But I have a suprise for her One that she cant turn down Up walked a handsome stranger That made her hubby frown As soon a she saw who he was Her whole face shone Within a matter of minutes Mr.B had gone He gave them some time alone Because Rogi is her hero Mr.B knew the chance of her Talking to him was zero. So he went off and packed a picnic For the 3 of them to eat After they'd been sailing And in the sea they'd dipped their feet. The three of them went diving So much fun they had But when Rogi had to go Mrs.B was so sad. They all had a great time But Rogi had to go back home He had to make up wth Mirka Whom he'd left all alone!

This is one of my faves! Mrs.B: I know a sweet English girl who frequents atpworld she adores a wonderful player whose game we always cheer he brings us all together but we're from the world all over when he's in a match we're here and our voices are loud & clear win or lose it doesn't matter she'll write something, makes u feel better now she's making up a good story how each of us go out with that special somebody if only she knew the joy that she brings to us fellow fans with her presence here in this thread u can write all sorts of things now we got camaraderie cuz of of dear Roger ay, Emma, hope you'll stay a while school is calling, but u make us smile looking forward to your next poetry cuz that's where you're special, you make our day! Lily: Mrs. B is her name she's funny, smart and classy I got to know her here cause she's a fan of Rogi She's always been so nice to me and to everyone else too she always opens the day with a smile a cheery warm welcome for you She lives in the land of Rogi so close to the sexy Swiss i wonder if he'd ever ask her to if she'd drop the Mrs. for Miss! Happy travels we all say we'll miss you while you're gone the party girl we know you are sleeping all day and up til dawn! mine: You must be so excited Going home,and to the sun To see your friends and family And have many weeks of fun Everyone will miss you You know that much is true But we all hope you enjoy yourself In whatever you do The sun will be shining brightly Having x-mas on the beach And thinking of me freezing here Whilst you are exposed to heat! Take all our thoughts and words with you On your journey across the world Ill cheer for Rogi in your absence Cant wait until you return! Mrs.B: Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. It doesn't show signs of stopping, And I brought some corn for popping; The lights are turned way down low, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. When we finally say good night, How I'll hate going out in the storm; But if you really hold me tight, All the way home I'll be warm. The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing, But as long as you love me so. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

these are the last ones that RF has sent me now and they go like this Despite your loss in Sydney We love you all the same And due to the fact that you were hurt Could have hampered your game But lets not talk about Sydney And things you failed to win The great hardcourts of sunny Melbourne Is where your year will begin. Though it may be uncertain You'll be fit enough to compete If so,this means this year I wont Be glued down in my seat. Of course I have my other faves To cheer for if you dont make it But get some rest,please recover soon And come back healthy and fit So as you're sat in Australia All your fans hope that their man Will be able to shake off this injury And be perfectly fine come 13th of Jan Hes the hot guy on my avatar (when I wrote it he was!) For those who didnt know When he pulls on a Madrid shirt Its like watching a magic show So skilful with the ball at his feet He scores bagfulls of goals for fun. He can seek a pass,create a chance And make the most wonderful run A must have in the national team A very important player for Spain And over the next couple of years More international caps he will gain. But whats also great about Raul Is Madrid are always on my TV He's really hot and great to watch He never fails to amaze me This was one of my fave ones I wrote The pressure's on Hewitt They ask can he do it Many warriors he will have to fend. But these 5 other men Will push him again And challenge him right til the end. First there's Marat Safin And he will be laughing If he takes this slam by the neck. Hes a man on a mission, Wants this competition But its never easy to wipe the whole deck Andre Agassi Ranked at number 3 would hate a Grand Slam defeat. Hes still very fast Just like in the past I tell you,hes not easy to beat. Then theres Juanqui of Spain Who would so love to gain This title which lies here in Oz He'll fight all the way With his exqusite way But its never easy because Moya seeded at 5 With passion and drive Will fight for the trophy to kiss If he captures his game The world will remember his name But beware of the 6th seeded Swiss Roger's the Swiss And he'd hate to miss A chance to be a winner this time Out of all of the shots Not one hes not got Hopefully all these 6 will shine. Many others can claim The glamour and fame With a ranking below number 6 Anybody can win Let the Open begin And watch out for a Grand Slam of tricks

this was when I really didnt like the shirt There once was a thing We called it a shirt To tell you the truth To look at it hurt Tell me how Nike Make people wear This awful design That gives fans a scare To see it onRogi Was such a suprise And damaging to Our delicate eyes. When pulled out of his bag A look of disgrace Was given by the crowd It was so in your face In the form of a shirt It clung to his back The swirling design Of white,blue and black With your victory in France And your new shade of red You took out Jonas And left him for dead This title your fifth Which you add to the list As you're happing and smiling And pumping your fist. The trophy above you Is held with such pride But the eurosport website Took us for a ride! The result claimed you'd lost Which broke our poor hearts And no longer cared If the final would start. But we found out the truth And you came out on top Let the Fed Express roll on Without one single stop! I wont be here tomorrow To cheer you from my house I cannot find your latest score With one click of my mouse I cant be here to cheer you But I promise Ill spare a thought Make sure you've won when I get home Else I will be distraught. If you believe in yourself Who knows what can be done You can bag this tournament Your second on the run Turn up the heat on Thomas And play the way you can Dont forget to enjoy yourself Best of luck in Rotterdam my Sami poem! Born and bred in Finland Now the Liverpool skip Where theres something in the water Maybe I should make the trip The huge star in our backline The first name on the team sheet The way he plays his awesome game So beautiful and neat. Never a messy tackle Always stands up straight He heads with such precision Sami Hyypia is great Loved by all the Kopites A great reader of the game The defender every big team wants They're scrapping for his name. But Sami's staying where he is My gorgeous Finnish star I love to watch him play because His defending is a work of art Our commanding number four Id cry if you were to be gone Coz you're our captain Marvell Sami,you're my number one
