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! 6/27/19

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
