Doggerel Time

On the world of tennis today
I do not have much to say
So I'll save it for another time
And instead give you this rhyme.

More Rhyme (but shorter this time)

As you can tell by the fact that I have resorted to rhyme, the tennis week has been spectacularly dull. Like, there are no words for the level of dullness that have descended upon us. And so, another short post.

When the tennis is tired
Jodi's uninspired
To write witty posts
Of which she can boast
Instead she writes rhymes
Which, after a time
Get very boring
And people start snoring
And so I have sought
To keep this rhyme short
And I think I'm succeeding -
You! there! stop reading!

The State of Tennis Today

There comes a time when it's simpler to rhyme
Than write anything insightful
Tennis is so boring that I'm almost snoring
It is decidedly undelightful


We might get all bent talking of Tashkent
But in the end, it's not that exciting
What fun! and what mania! talking of Romania!
...somehow I don't find it inviting


It's like the game takes a walk at the end of New York
When we conclude at the US Open
Now it's a lull that's ever so dull
And to be honest, I find myself mopin'.


When Jodi turns to rhyme you know it is time
That something of import happen
But right now it's so tedious I've made up the word 'weedious'
So awful I see you all flappin'.
