Murray versus Djokovic (Melbourne)

You say he gets too angry.
I call it killer instinct.
Potatoes and tomatoes aside,
the other guy was just better.

    I'm still grappling with 'potatoes and tomatoes aside'. Cultural references? Geographical connotations? Whatever it is, it's a lovely juxtaposition.

    Keep it up - this is a fascinating blog to watch.

    Good question! It's actualy a rather lame reference to the Gershwin song 'Let's call the whole thing off' sung by Fred Astaire - thanks for the support - truly appreciated

    Haha, of course... That explains it!

    If you wouldn't object I'd like to complete an analysis of one of your poems on my blog. Possibly 'Fractured Limb'?
