Harriet Dart

• FURTHER to last week’s “We love Dart” (John Gulliver, September 16), and contributed as a former tennis coach…

Ms Harriet Dart, Ms Harriet Dart
Cherished tennis girl, how admired thou art.
Your spectacular win, just before tea,
Defeating Emma comprehensively,
Biting at the champ, champing at the bit,
Displaying, my dear, your true Camden grit.
(With apologies to John Betjeman, A Subaltern’s Love Song.)
