I’m playing in a Fantasy Tennis League in 2014, even though I don’t follow tennis. Long story, and this blog is all about short posts. But, before the league kicks off, there is a preseason contest to come up with a tennis haiku that will be engraved on the plaque that goes to the league winner. My less profane entries so far:

little yellow ball
back and forth and back and forth
the whole afternoon

fantasy tennis:
every swing is perfect, or
mai-tais at courtside?

you said it was out
jesus knows when you’re lying
hope hell is worth it

any sport so full of
gambling and russian women
is probably rigged

her beauty transcends
the constraints of your contest:
