Very clever, David, from the title to word choice ('ennui'). Tennis references are spot on. Congratulations! Brian

Was having a laugh with myself here Brian, watching Novak winging it big time, he really left them with no choice other than to deport him and his big entourage, cheers David

What a recipe! If you get 'tired' of it, you can sprinkle a little stagnation over it. lol.

All brought about by his own inertia Gershon, not such a great legacy after all, cheers David

I like that word too Bill, came across it in a crossword puzzle many moons ago, don’t think I ever used it in a poem, cheers David

FABULOUS word play, I will continue the tennis puns - he tried to take advantage but they wouldn't let him in for love nor money! hugs Jan xx
