Anyone For Tennis?

Listen to poem:

I do enjoy verbal tennis wordplay may be a game outwit outsmart the opponent is the only aim lobbing phrases across the net volley and rally back and forth no one's a loser and yet those precious few who think on their feet will always win have you beat Shakespeare is the all-time champ merely a player with poem and sonnet through thick and thin he'd go for a spin and put some English on it it's fun for all with no balls or calls and if your serve is up to scratch unless words fail at the thought you quail it's word game set and match
