Nobody wants it to miss, 
As it is inked, said, and heard.

Playing tennis? Whack that ball!
Must at least be four feet tall!
Better at least know how to play
Or else it's a real tough day!

Is it hauling people or cattle?

And problems we forever faced;
Shoes tennis,
Real menace;
Hard for long shoes to be laced.

So desperate for love was Dennis
A psychic's ball

Whilst sipping a pint of Guinness

buried under pseudo-tennis-intellectual flimflam

Who thought he was an ace at tennis

Was known to the girls  as a menace
A sign from Above
Predicted "True Love"

Carlos Alcaraz
plays tennis the way Ol’ Satchmo played jazz;
so creative, so talented, having so much fun, 
and now he’s a two-time Wimbledon champion.

   For those who read right to left
     ‘tennis’ backward is ‘sinnet’
