sports,
Most balls people pitch, roll, or fling.
They kick them or strike them with zing.
But for lazy old me
I like tirelessly
to stand, flick my wrist and go “ping!”

Limerick : Once a Tennis Woman named Sue Baule
Once a Tennis Woman named Sue Baule
Tried to avoid being called : « Screw Ball ! »
So she got her haïr cut
In the shape of a snout
Since at French Open gets dubbed : « Screwed Doll ! »

death, places, sad
They gave me some nice tennis shoes.
When I came to prison it's true.
They said you must wear
and you must not care.
That a dead man has done paid his dues.

My nephew whose first name is Dennis
With ladies he loves to play tennis
But he is so fickle
Their tonsils he’ll tickle
Young Dennis is a truly a menace!

There once lived a boy named Dennis
Who was a nagging menace
He gathered all the balls
That flew over walls
Then threw them at players of tennis!

Stan Keefeet sure loved his old tennis shoes
They did not love him, was not any news
When kicked off
Everyone coughed
With lots of crying and cussing and boos!

Ilene took an hard look at Dennis
Whose shorts were designed to play tennis
Though he beamed with pride
His balls bounced outside
Perhaps he should try serving Guinness!

A seaman called, "Octopus" Dennis
Was known to the girls as a menace
A sign from Above
Predicted "True Love"
"But you gotta go out and play tennis!"

love,
All the girls say he is a menace
So desperate for love was Dennis
A psychic's ball
Revealed it all
He could find true Love playing tennis

A young tennis brat from Indiana
Dressed in a psychedelic bandana
When he put it on
It glowed bright neon
Lit up the court from here to Montana

Watching Serena play tennis
Whilst sipping a pint of Guinness
I heard someone plead
Donald Trump should lead
His Fake News Parade in Venice

10th grade,
There was a young man named Dennis
Who thought he was an ace at tennis
He missed every shot
An ace he was not
He is now a Gondolier in Venice

allegory, analogy,
She had both her knees replaced,
And problems we forever faced;
Shoes tennis,
Real menace;
Hard for long shoes to be laced.

funny,
Ever been diagnosed with minor deadness
When symptoms are stiffness and deafness
Stillness prevails
Absence of emails
Also restricts their game of tennis

silly,
Wear hip boots while visiting Venice
A huge rainfall caused a postponement of tennis
Driving the express
Causes much stress
Keep the windows closed to avoid wetness
