A Pocketful of Miracles

"Frankie baby, my pockets are full" howled the 'bombastic blowhard' to the delight of the 8 twelve-year old boys sitting on the bench outside of the Champions Court at Kinsley. The lads couldn't fathom how four grown men their grandfathers' age could have fun chasing a tennis ball in 90 degree weather while they were savoring an afternoon cigarette passed among them. Titan had paired with 'Rockin' Rick Ricci for two glorious come from behind victories against Frank 'Slats' Slattery and 'Happy Jack' Carey. Each set had TT/'RRR' trail 2-4, love -30, against 'HJ's service before the tide turned. Both TT and 'RRR' enjoyed serving it out to secure (6-4, 6-4) triumphs. As the group gathered at net 'Slats' pleaded with TT for a third set: "and Jack can be your partner this time." "No can do" opined the 'pedantic procrastinator' "I've already put a 'win in each of my two pockets' - no place to put a third today." 'HJ' turned to the preteens and asked, "Got an extra smoke?" 'RRR' observed "Jack's got his priorities about what he'll plead for."
