Best Get A Grip Poems

He had a toothache to see the Dentist about.

The Dentist said that tooth must come out.

        Choose a needle or gas

        But the man said alas

I choose neither he said with...

(For JHL's 'Hauntings')


I tempt my fate with tree branches. Each and every night
I walk home from my bus stop as darkness drains the light.

I pass by St. John's Cemetery and shoot a wayward glance.
Ominous rows of tombstones bewitch me in a trance...

...

I see them: people...

He threw away…he threw away my friendship
I’m as sad as a lonesome goldfish in the bowl
Oooh…I must get a grip
Get a grip, man…
I don’t know what…I don’t know what to think anymore
Without you opening me up, I’m a locked door
Oooh…I must get a grip
Get a...

He blew away…he blew away my sadness
My damn despondency…
He’s making fun of me…
Don’t laugh at me, I envy
Your smile… I’d run the extra mile
Just to be with you for only a little awhile
Tell me if I need to get a grip
You consume me like fire,...

"Get a Grip"

It's fake or is legit
Get a grip
Live or quit
You either do or don't give a s***
It's all hit or miss
Being credible or illegitimate
Able to show and prove or another hypocrite
Biding time or lickety-split
Listen quick
Got some news, time I deliver it
One thing to be...

He made me float…he made me beam with glee
I was once so sturdy…so robust with reverie
but, now I’m a sunken ship…everything’s gone unfortunately
Sponging in misery that I thought has disappeared into the reckless sea
Oooh…I must get a grip
Get a grip, man…
Oooh…I must take a dip
Take...

On Myself Get a Grip

When on myself I must get a grip
To certain pages in Bible will flip
Read dearly and in heart remain
In God words are so much gain.

More and more effort I always took
And ended up writing a whole book
Of poems similar to this...

Too many obstacles in my way
to get anything done today.

I over slept
called in sick.
Boss got ticked.
Oh well, he'll get
over it.

My head feels like
it's been hit
with a brick.

Stayed up late
to conjugate.
Seeking my soul mate.

Sweet grapes divine,
dranked some wine.
Dazzled the guys on line.

Before I knew it,
was 4...

Peter wanted to cook some fresh snails
So he followed their silvery trails
He put them in a pot
But a lid he forgot …
Up kitchen walls poor Peter now scales!

Get A Grip

Trump supporters on selves get a grip;
He should have served an internship,
Experience received,
And us not deceived;
He should have given us all the slip.

Dear heart, with all due respect, stop your skipped beats and get a grip, please!
Pull yourself together, it’s just a girl, even if she is cute, smart, and kind.
Yes, her eyes are crystallized love, adorned with sparkling stardust,
Her voice, a divine concert of nature, a...

is that a tremor
  calm down, take it easy
sure it is, distinct this time
  fingers trembling slightly

get a grip now
  no, I can't
I can't grip my pen
  my fingers are shaking now

O, the vagaries of age
  one goes from light...

I should be trying it
It's simple common sense
Instead I pitch a fit
It's not quantum science

Why must I keep speaking
What I say too absurd
You will not even listen
Alone in my own words

Letting me ask myself
Before we get rearranged
Getting me to control
Turning against a change

You honestly love...

Jill has had both knees replaced
and neighbors have been helping.
This actually happened.

Get A Grip Big Chip

On yourself must get a grip;
On bowl could find big chip,
Almost miss;
Smooth now is;
Appeared along the top lip.
