Notes About The Poem

Anyone For Tennis

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!

Jan, you write these Limericks with such seeming ease. I can't manage to write even one. I think it takes special talent to create these. Loved this one! : ) xxoo

This puts a whole new spin on an old sport; perhaps the ladies don't think he is such a menace if he can tickle their tonsils. Nice limerick, Jan. John
