Ping And Pong’s New Game
By Larry Linville
Ping picked up a rounded stone
and then a piece of wood.
He hit that stone over to Pong
and boy, he hit it good.
Pong swung and missed that little stone
picked it up and hit it back.
Old Ping lined the stone up with the stick
and gave it a great big whack.
Back and forth they hit that stone
and they started keeping score.
They played that silly game so hard
they couldn’t play it any more.
Ping and Pong had long talks
about how this new game was presented.
And, my dear friends, this is the way
tennis was invented.
