PICKLEBALL JUST TURNS ME OFF

 DON'T THINK THAT I COULD PLAY A GAME

WITH SUCH A RIDICULOUS NAME

PICKLEBALL JUST TURNS ME OFF

THAT NAME JUST MAKES ME WANT TO SCOFF

I'M NOT SURE WHY IT BOTHERS ME

NOT SURE WHAT REASON THERE COULD BE

I ONLY KNOW IT RUBS ME WRONG

AND THE FEELING'S VERY STRONG

Author's Notes/Comments: 

SILLY BUT TRUE....I HAVE HEARD THE GAME MENTIONED A FEW TIMES BUT NEVER SEEN IT PLAYED SO HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUN IT COULD BE OR NOT...JUST WHEN I HEAR THAT NAME I ALWAYS MAKE A WEIRD FACE LIKE PICKLE BALL....REALLY...YOU ACTUALLY PLAY A GAME CALLED PICKLEBALL AND ADMIT IT...IT SAYS IT IS A COMBINATION OF TENNIS,BADMINTON, AND PING PONG...GAMES WHICH I HAVE PLAYED THEM ALL AND THE WAY THEY DESCRIBE THE BALL SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A WHIFFLE BALL WHICH I HAVE PLAYED WITH TOO BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT PLAYED AND REALLY CAN'T PICTURE IT IN MY HEAD BUT DON'T REALLY WANT TO. THE NAME JUST SOUNDS TOO WEIRD TO ME FOR SOME ODD REASON...NOT KNOCKING IT IF YOU ENJOY IT JUST DESCRIBINIG MY FEELINGS TOWARD SOMETHING BASED ON WHAT IT IS CALLED NOT UNDERSTANDING IT MYSELF....
