I am sure you would have made a friend in an
Eohippus
if you fed it milk and oreos.

It would be ghastly if the drunken eohippus had a
lytta
because that would mean it was likely carnivorous.

Yes, but only a drunken eohippus. A sober eohippus would
take
care to avoid contact with a lytta since they are a genus of blister beetles.

On the subject of tennis...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis wrote:The original forms of tennis developed in France during the
late
Middle Ages. The modern form of tennis originated in Birmingham, England, in the late 19th century as lawn tennis. It had close connections to various field (lawn) games such as croquet and bowls as well as to the older racket sport today called real tennis.

It was not until the 16th century that rackets came into use and the game began to be called "tennis", from the French term

I wonder if a boy named
Ezechiel
ever played tennis?
Ezechiel is a Hebrew name for boys. The meaning is `God gives strength` The name Ezechiel is most commonly given to French boys. (29 times more often than to American boys.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis#Ball_changes
In ITF tournaments like Fed Cup, the balls are changed after every
eleven
games (rather than nine) with the first change occurring after only nine games (instead of seven) [because the first set of balls is also used for the pre-match warm-up].

11 (eleven) is the natural number following 10 and preceding 12. It is the first repdigit. In English, it is the smallest positive integer whose name has three syllables. "Eleven" derives from the Old English
ęndleofon,
which is first attested in Bede's late 9th-century Ecclesiastical History of the English People.

How about a quote from
