Poet Roger McGough, in his structural poem, cleverly administers a disheartened picture of two members of a middle-aged couple. The two middle-aged members may materialize at first to be spending time with each other playing tennis and enjoying each other’s company. However, as the concise story progresses, the truth exhibits that other than playing the game of tennis, in reality, the two people may have little or no connection to each other whatsoever.

Citadels; While the first line is a fully independent clause, the second, while also an independent clause, begins with "And," seemingly a continuation of a sentence started in the first line.

The "When" clauses by their
