Be Prepared Poems | Examples


Hot Rally Soup Note: Must be prepared in July

Take one demigod from the melting pot
Give it a Mega-phone (the louder the better)
Mix in a heavy dose of Fox News, make it a bit overbearing 
In a separate pot, 
mix 70 million evangelicals 
2 or 3 million fanatics -depending on your tolerance 
Season with lies and fear
Add holy water, a couple of cases of Budweiser and demigod mixture 
But first clip a piece of ear and discard 
sit in the sun until it boils- stirring occasionally

Be Prepared

Wake up early,
be sure to wear clean underwear.
Get dressed.

Go sit down and breathe quietly,
be prepared
in that hour before dawn,
for it is then
that they will come for you.

Never write down your thoughts
or express an opinion,
whatever is said or mistakenly implied
can be twisted to seem
controversial or inflammatory.

Turn in your friends, neighbors,
wife, children, or parents
for they may testify against you first -
it's the loving thing to do.

Pack a small nondescript suitcase,
burn all documents and letters
carry no ID,
don't use a credit card,
be prepared to take a slow train
into anonymity.

Know this,
hope is futile -
they will find you anyway.

The Origin of Be Prepared

After Moses emptied his tush
God set fire to the only bush 
A terrible plight
No paper in sight
All the leaves went up with a whoosh!


Premium Member Next Time We Will Be Prepared

We had most fun we have ever had on the River Boat Dell Queen
Cousins Limpets and the Hoppers, more than you've ever seen.
Frolicked, jet skied, threw our sisters and bros in the water.
What incredible fun for each grandson and granddaughter.

We have never seen you act this way, the littlest one said.
named Sheila, she belonged to Lilly Putin and son Ted.
We picked her up, swirled her and threw her in with a plunk.
Me too yelled a big cheese sandwich eater name of Big Thunk. 

It was the craziest, most fun family reunion we had ever had
You can ask my most serious grand Uncle– Timothy Thad.
We were arrested, hauled away for our behavior that fine day.
Grandma said next time we won 't let those damned cops chase us away.

Premium Member Ever Ready and Be Prepared

Pray before you're prayed upon
Help others before you look for help
Love before you yearn for love
Take care of yourself
Before you're being taken care of
Plan for the future before you retire
Make friends before you're left alone 
Speak out before you complain
Try your best before you give up
All these start from you before others lend a hand
As nothing is taken for granted
Maybe except Jesus redemption on the cross 
Ever ready and be prepared 
To give and take 
To work hard to attain
To pray and to follow the right path
Before it's too late
As God  only helps those who help themselves
As God only helps those who want to accept him
As God only helps those who want to accept his advice

Be Prepared

Abner; 
So beautiful like a sitting doll
How sweet your smile
That can go thousand miles
You are a joy that one can admire

Don’t let that growing desire
Flush like a dying lion
Be that beautiful apron
That one can be proud to put on

One day you won’t be this small
You will grow up to be a fine man
Grow up with confidence
Back your bags for school now

Make good friends
Read,Write,and learn a lot
Always remember to put
Your thinking cap and suit on

Read your marks and words
Be there for yourself
Live like a great king
And thank me later!

poem by Taimee Catakaw 

Note:This is a lovely poem I wrote for my cousin Abner for his birthday which is April. Happy birthday cousin.


Must Be Prepared To Propose

Must Be Prepared To Propose

Always must be prepared to propose,
A plan to control water after it froze;
We discussed,
Control must;
Energy that exists in wind that blows.

You'Ll Be Prepared

Devastating may it be,
You will stay longer than me.

I will prepare you for the fight,
You will know whats wrong and right.

I will teach you what you need,
You’ll be taught to give, not greed.

You will learn your P’s and Q’s
I will share with you my views.

But you will then begin to make your own,
And then not much longer, you will be grown.

And my teaching will then be done,
And your teaching will have just begun.

Be Prepared - Visualise Contest

she injured herself at the barre
needs to do stretches to soften the jar.

with exercise and a heat pad, she should be alright
trying óto ease ache away, to put things right.

sat on the chair to do toe exercises, she knew
would be agony, but work through the pain she must do

she raised and fell her muscles were hot
with sweating  hands to massage her foot

an important exam at dancing school the morrow
not being able to dance would cause great sorrow

a smile the next morning seemed to say all is fine 
reminding her to warm up properly next time

Be Prepared

Be Prepared

When the well runs dry.
And we're all afraid to die.
I can hear us cry.
Dear God. Oh, Father, on high.
Tell me why the well is dry.

You'D Best Be Prepared

Out of the air came a voice without a face
In tones as dry and level as the place

Where by an alter that should have been
They looked upon quite another scene

Many times man lives and dies
In the earth and between the skies

That of race and that of soul
Prepare to meet what must unfold

The unremembered God they now must see
When at last returned to eternity

Unwilling still to bow down on that knee
Complete submission is what it should be 

But oh no, not obstinate, stubborn, magnificent man
No matter the cost - defiant man must stand until

Placed with love and mercy inside Gods hands
Only then does man begin to understand

Side by side their faces blurred
Recognizable defiance seems now absurd

Filled with pity shaking with grief and fright
Crying like great babies both day and night

So that we in coming days may be aware that
When you go to meet your creator you'd best to be prepared!

Be Prepared

Whispers in the blackened night
Tell me of oncoming danger.
I must take heed, be ready to fight
The advances of the coming stranger.

He comes with a mission, intent to kill;
Take my life, all for his pleasure.
Why would he do it, what is his will?
I must prevent it, at all measure.

I am but a victim, an innocent, here,
Somehow I was sent a warning.
My mind had spoken, must shed all my fears
And be ready, I must be disarming.

When predator comes, I’ll be ready, I will.
He won’t get the drop on me.
I won’t be of the many that he had killed.
For I’ll be the last one he’ll see.
