Best Contagious Poems
It’s joyous, warm, makes you feel good inside
Being the recipient of a genuine, contagious smile
Hitting you like a blast a display of happy emotion
It travels beyond the mouth, reaching to the eyes
You know when it's real because you hear it by sound
And you seek it out because you want to be found
By the travelling happy smile on a merry go round
A gift to be collected and treasured to the core
Because a warm loving smile can be hard to find

Smiling is infectious, you can catch it like the flu.
When somenone smiled at me today, I started smiling too.
I turned around the corner and saw my own grin, When he smiled
I realized I had passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile, then understood its work.
A single smile just like mine, could travel round the earth.
So if you see a smile begin, don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected.

Lyric
I don't understand the basis
How are people rude and racist
Putting their hate on display
Every moment of the day
Someone shouts a mean remark
Leaving a cloud so deeply dark
Over a person who can't
Fathom why these obscene rants
Are used against them all the time
When did hatred of this kind
Become an everyday occurance
We need some hope and assurance
This wont last for very long
We all need to right this wrong
It is not O.K. to be
This discrimanatory
Against others you don't know
Because their heritage shows
Skin color and clothes they wear
Shouldn't make them live in fear
Language barriers shouldn't play
How they're spoken to in ways
That's loaded with much offense
It doesn't make any sense
We are all humans and try
To live our days, getting by
Like so many others do
Come on people get a clue
It needs to stop and right now
There has to be a way somehow
To open everybody's eyes
That the vicious hateful lies
They are spreading is contagious
It's becoming so outrageous
How humanity has lost
All its senses, it has cost
This world to become so violent
Lets not keep our voices silent
Raise them up and start a pact
To stop any racist act
That you see in front of you
It is the right thing to do

Rhyme
She smiled at him on the stairwell
He smiled at the man at the door,
He in turn said "Good Morning"
To the lady sweeping the floors.
She nodded at the passer by
Who then turned around,
And gave a smile to the little girl
Who was wearing such a frown.
The little girl started laughing
And simply passed it on
To her Mother who was with her,
Then they hummed a little song.
The painter in the hallway
Felt tired, and very blue,
Till the old gentleman said
"What a beautiful job you do".
If we would do this everyday
It moves along in stages,
When you smile at everyone
It truly is contagious.

Light Verse
Singing songs that fill the air.
Contagious is the song they sing.
The canaries are joyful, without a care.
Their melodies are beyond compare.
They make a weary heart take wing,
singing songs that fill the air.
Happy they, no burden to bare,
when their rich songs they shall sing.
The canaries are joyful, without a care.
Sad thoughts you cannot share
when listening to the song they bring,
singing songs that fill the air.
Their lilting voices in the air
are welcoming the coming Spring.
The canaries are joyful, without a care.
I shall hum while they sing with flair
and all around us music will ring.
Singing songs that fill the air,
the canaries are joyful, without a care.

Yawning is certainly contagious
Others can't help yawning too
It even happens with chimpanzees
Try it next time you're at the zoo
Yawn while attending a party
Many will follow your lead
The host can signal the party's over
By yawning, it's time to leave
Yawning can also be useful
Groom signals the sleep he lacks
He's saying the wedding's over
To get his new bride in the sack
They happen when you're nervous
You need to let go a big fart
At a very important office meeting
One that soars right off the chart
Ever notice how silly we look
Our faces get all screwed up
We look like we're giving birth to a baby
Or picking up poop from a pup
So every time you yawn now
Remember these images I've sent you
You surely will to try to stifle it
Remembering the chimps in the zoo!

Warm thoughts of fun times.
Smiles presented to others,
appear contagious.

A smile is so contagious,
Is so contagious, they say.
Even through the nook and corner
To the heart it finds a way.
And from the heart, straight to the lips
It always makes a fair play,
And then to the other,
And then to the other,
It spreads like a fire
In the hay!
Joy and energy
It carries far and wide
Without a buffer, across the bay.
And now I have sent you one,
Hope it reached,
Have a nice day!:)

How much hate can a terrorist create?
Truck loads for those who decided my mate Deans fate
The date 12th of the 10th 2002
Two ammonium nitrate bombs blew
It was an attack by a pack of rats
Murdering my mate on holiday with the Kingsley Cats
Celebrating a grand final victory by partying in Bali
Why did it have to be?
Dam Abu Bakar Bashir, Amrozi and the rest of Jamal Islamia
These cowards intentions were clear and severe
To inflict fear on westerners and to kill Aussies just having a beer
They want to plunder
Unless they kill all of us there only gonna make us stronger the hatred can't go on any longer
Those had no cause or any remorse for using force to fight their so called "holy wars"
Which were said to be based on their religious souce
At the same time breaking their religious laws
No one should have a problem with any race colour or religion
Only a problem with any murdering individual that are in them
Weather it be Hindu, Muslim, Cathlic or Christen, black or white is no justification for a fight

What if I became a mad scientist that created a mysterious new virus,
and unleashed it on the world’s population?
What if this virus was the only hope to save mankind from eventually
destroying itself, and the planet earth?
What if I was caught in the act, and jailed for life before I released it?
What if the world continued to spin out of control for the next 20 years?
What if at the very end of our existence just before we had all been destroyed;
The President came to visit me and wanted my secret formula?
What if I gave him the recipe for my mysterious virus, and showed him how it works?
What if there was really no such thing as a cure all virus and I was bluffing all along?
What if I’m bluffing right now, and there really is a cure all virus that could save us all?
What if there was hope for mankind and this planet before it’s too late?
What if you had a crystal ball and could see 20 years into the future?
What if you had an original thought of your own and could create the cure?
What if the fate of this planet and all that dwells upon it were in your hands?
What if I told you there’s no such thing as a crystal ball, and our future is here and now?
What if I told you that you could create an original thought, but you never will unless you try?
What if we started asking why and stopped thinking what if?

If You Live By The Sword
Then You Die By The Sword
How do you explain that to a child?
Do on to others as they do on to you.
An audience in the trees
gleamed upon the sight
darkening the light
blotting out the sun.
Nesting birds departing
upward flight,
dancing images
of children's play
in a sandbox
in the shady shadow.
Toys round them
all colors and shapes.
A drop of sand in a dump truck
another in a red bucket;
it made contagious laughs
with occasional exceptions
lost tempers,
sand flies
toys fly.
Isolation
or
integration.
We're the pearls of wisdom.
Play nice
or
get hurt with your actions.
The sunshine through the roaring clouds.
Rain drops brought deject day,
Bathed the children in feted glee.
Friends helped each other gather toys.
From play-time and cheerful day
to gather back with promises sweet,
another day of feted glee.

When you look back
Beyond your innocence of youth and jealousy
There will lie patience and age
Devoid of rage
And all that came before
Will make sense
In the present tense
And what you had before
Which you chose to ignore
Becomes up to your partner
Thinking whether
You were worth fighting for
Or if settling an old score
Putting to bed a festering sore
That broke there spirit
And made them feel worthless
Was merely angel dust and wonder lust

Give me the true meaning of what is said
pale shadows, removing the song in your head
Is the lie done solely for personal gain
Until one is aware of the conscience of pain
Human power can destroy without limit
the fear and ridicule destroy in minutes
We have all knowledge of the great and true
Secret faults shall never bloom from me to you
Let the fruits on the tree of friendship ripen and grow
In the sand of the river, our footprints will flow

She wasnt certified by the USDA when she grew on him likes she was a colony of E.coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef. Then started eating healthy turkey bacon then she started mistaken. When she realized she buried me in the bedroom where I, I can sing you to sleep all night.... And last night she recited every reason. Why she was so contagious when hitting on me by her love spells, got me catching vibe and connecting me by her chemistry, contagious that got me sick of her but dont wanna relieve her like an ex-girlfriend.

Epic
“The park’s the bestest place I know.
I hope you’ll take me there today.”
Four-year-old Bud would get his way.
His Papa also likes to go
to watch the lively children play.
Bud rushed right to the carousel
and claimed “the horsey I like best.
He’s magic. He’s not like the rest!”
His Papa recollects quite well
his own fun fancies lived with zest.
Bud’s magic horsey comes alive,
not at the park; but many nights,
he takes him on fantastic flights.
Though Magic leaves when dawn arrives,
the daytime holds its own delights.
