Lovers, Kings, and Queens (a Riddle)

Lovers begin and end with us
As do Kings and Queens.
We're a part of certain sports:
Basketball, badminton, "tennis anyone?"
Even with kangaroos "playing"
We still have the final say!

    Hey Uba, thanks again for the sweet comment and funny story. However, as a teacher, well substitute, I have to admonish you for trying to figure my riddle out during Science class; how are you ever going to get an A like that? Also, tell those others witty riddle solvers, Ubi, and Spiffy, to stop making faces at you in class and buckle down, as I would like to see them get A's too. College will be here before you ubs know it and I want you all to get into good schools and solve the difficult and advanced riddles at that point (without interrupting your studies!). Best Reagards, always, David

    Well, this one has a funny story. When Ubi and I originally attempted this one, we couldn't get it for the life of us. Then Spiffy got it, and was taunting us that she had gotten it first. Then Ubi got it too, and the both of them were taunting me. So here I am in science, glaring at the printout of this riddle who's answer was doing a darn good job of staying way out of my grasp, with Spiffy and Ubi both sitting there staring at me laughing. I look up at Ubi, ask him if my guess is right, he says no, and proceedes to give me a clue. And accidentaly says the answer. Yeah. Very uncool. I would have gotten to it... eventually. Yet another well written piece!

    Vows is a good guess, Mark, but not quite. Touchof1der got it almost immediately. Keep trying and stay out of trouble, or you will surely wish you had a riddle to solve!

    I'll have to give this some thought. This has me stumped for sure. This could be fun trying to guess. Lovers, Kings and Queens make me think of vows, but that has nothing to do with the rest.

    Thanks Ann for the guess and, well that's part of the "scene" but not quite. And this is more of a U.K. riddle, or by that i mean that you should get this one; this also reminds me to post one that i wrote over there during my brief stay at Oxford, and i will try and get it up tonight, but if not, i will I.M. you!
