pickleball

do you

surrender to it?

this craze,

this so called sport,

a combination

between tennis and badminton,

pickleball.

where you hardly have to

move your feet

and never sweat.

is basketball

over.

football?

running around the track,

lifting weights?

is it time to join

the old folks

with your racket

and white pants?

your folding chair

in the shade.

are you really that close

to the grave?

can't they come up with

a better name?
