CALL by Robbie Yates:

Yoyos made a comeback
I thought that you would know!
Some people love to flick them
Up high and then down low.
They spin and twist and twirl them
They roll them on the floor,
…
(Can you finish this poem?)

RESPONSE by Timeless Classics:

… My mishaps with the yoyos
Would fill a book of lore!

I thought that when I was grown up
I wouldn’t yoyo any more
Thought that when I became adult
Yoyos would become a bore

But that was all when I was young
And foolish — all before
I found out they have made
A yoyo game that you can score!

So now I’m back — I’m on a
Veritable yoyo binge
Even though the sight of me
Makes all my neighbors cringe

Injected it luminously
Using my syringe
And then I added dingle balls
Hazard tape and fringe

Now all you yoyo champions
Had better anticipate
The loss of all your titles
To Robbiemon the Great!
