Flippity Floppity
Billy Jean Moffitt King
master tennis player
career legend
Never a thought of her
ephemerality
troubled, infirmity
record destined
Slippity Sloppity
Robert Larimore Riggs
Hustler, tennis gambler
major success
Credible challenger
overambitiousness
Battle of the Sexes
Bobby’s excess
I can’t believe I thought that...
Dismissing such as trivial
Yet we’re affected by its being viral…
While forecasting its flippant survival
We’re anxious to find its trending rival...
God be thanked for truth* midst deceit's trial.
I'm not all that enthused about Trump for Commander-In-Chief.
I personally find his narcissistic behavior beyond belief!
However, he or anyone else in my biased opinion is preferred to Hillary.
With her past precarious behavior she is fair-play for ridicule and pillory!

(Sorry folks - just expressing my hallowed lst Amendment Rights!)
Accept thyself,
That even my personality,
can not stood with most pride,
when a Charisma,
is overwhilmed by,
thy can not hold on,
but to accept thy fate...
And while it is true,
that I can not achive,
to elevate thyself,
in the level of Nurie --Light
I can not easily given up,
for I believed I can reach,
the luckiest of my Dream...

It seems that even-tempered Ralphie Parker,
Had a side to him that was somewhat darker.
Ralphie lost his cool with his mortal protagonist,
And bloodied the beak of Farkus his antagonist!

If one mongoose is called a mongoose
Then can't we conclusively deduce
That two could be called mongeese
'Twould make a great discourse piece
Unless ye be dreadfully obtuse
