Ping and Pong's New Game

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.
