Best Fund Raising Poems

You will have probably heard this story, it's often been told
About Captain Tom who's ninety nine years old
He's a Second World War veteran who's served his country
And was a Captain in the tank regiment in the army.

When Tom needed medical help the NHS were there
And...

Each year in August the teams descend, cricket foe morphing quickly to friend,
Bonds are forged on a pitch unique, camped on the banks of Reedybrook creek. 
The grass is cut, the fields set out, the umpires shout, ‘Fair play gents, otherwise, you’re out!’
Of drinks consumed,...

The Jazz and Pizzazz would not be what it is
If not for the Moms of the musical kids
Sure it’s the Dads who build every set

They sew on the sequins and alter the hems
And buy the...

My heart cries for thousands and thousands of people
those who perished in the earthquake-spawned waves;
known as tsunami, the worst natural disaster

Dummying Up
              by Odin Roark

Once mannequins rocked.
Utilitarian heroes propped up
Behind steering wheels,
Windows,
Doors,
Even beside display animals.
Such were the iron-hearted
Of atomic testing ground history.

Today, Saks 5th Ave windows
With their sophisticated still-life-reality,
Serve the well-to-do shoppers,
The...

Girls of a New chapel opened  in Wales
Heard about the struggle that two sisters in Uganda heed
A two hour round trip down mountain and vales
Twice a day to get 20 litre of water for  family needs.

So they baked cakes organised fund raising 
The...

JOHN M. ARRIBAS


He was here today promised pie in the sky

Often at your favorite Wal-Mart store

Donations they ask that you give 
So others a better life can live

Cancer fund, heart fund all are there

That's not MY elephant!
A spiteful conceited elephant that ran away from the circus
MY elephant provides copies of the Bill Of Rights to all 2nd graders in Macon County
Considers fund-raising possibilities of selling elephant ears at Zippy Zoo Days
The kids will bring their white elephants and...

>Why I don’t I play tennis.

Tennis, want to know why don’t I play?
Because I cannot hit those balls back.
Those that fly fast down my way.

I mean a tiny sphere like that.
Travelling faster than my car at that!
How can I expect to hit, a tennis ball...

Captain Tom was an inspiration and became an overnight celebrity
Walked with the aid of a frame raising thirty million pounds for charity
He was ninety nine years old and was knighted by the Queen

Investors don’t have to be paid
if a flop of a Broadway musical is made.
That was the thought of producer Max Bialystok.
His philosophy was obviously a big crock.
Max resorted to fund raising activities that were shady.
He conned and cheated many an old lady.
He and accountant Leo...

"Call it curiosity"
Does anyone on this app really believe
That somehow or another every one of us
Truly think that one side is meant to deceive 
Or that one side is the one that is only one to pull us way from the current prisabus
