Premium Member More about the hula hoop I suppose
I've just hula'd for the entirety of Creep by Radiohead
I believe if I can hula through more songs from the 1990s I will turn back time
Not in a Cher way
Maybe in a faraway silhouette way
And I'll be happy with that
Because it's really only myself I...

Premium Member Otherwise Shaped Hoop
In the year eighteen hundred and ninety-nine,
a Norwegian was patented for his design.
His name was John Vaaler, and we've great reliance
on his smart invention, a household appliance.

This smart little gizmo is made up of wire,
but power, electricity, doesn't require.
From springy material, an “otherwise shaped hoop,”
John's...

Premium Member Cock-A-Hoop
Burst of brandished flaming arrow,
Thump of bunnies against my chest,
Cupid’s straight pointer did narrow,
Continue my family crest.

Squawking souls of birds in my nest,
Potent from moonstruck bolero,
Crescendo of lust’s citrus zest —
Cock-a-hoop’s sunstruck sombrero.

Trump Had a Hula Hoop
Trump Had A Hulahoop

About Trump have heard the latest scope;
Had one heck of a time with a hula hoop;
Hard of hearing;
Twilight is nearing;
Long ties he languished did dip into soup.

Ain'T No Hoop and Stick
Whenever the grandchildren visit us
you can see how they turn their heads and cringe
If we should start talking about the games
that we were forced to play with way back when

They roll their eyes at each other and laugh
anytime we talk about how it was
When even...

Premium Member Displaced Ballers Hoop Drops-
Honor truth
Settles the heart

Displaced young
They do start

Basket ballers hoops
Drops the love parts

aMERICA cuts the net
Ballers shoots the ball

Broken leg blurry eyes
Once again shoots a shoot
Drops the ball in game and love
Loses the game moves on

The last hula hoop
Let me have the last look at you before you do the final “hula hoop.”
Let me have the final look at you before try on your new shoes. Some sizes just don't fit; you have got to hold on to the grit. Their sentiment is...

Hoop and A Happy Child
A little child once hopped round a hoop.
The child tried it once and it felt like the best thing.
The child went back everyday hopping around the hoop with smiles and no care in the world.
Everything that happened before that hoop didn't matter.
The hoop was the...

Three Point Shot
Three Point Shot


You reach the line, an almost perfect semicircle,
Racing from one side of the court to the other, avoiding the hoop
In a soft wide arc, 

Your shoes biting into the floor,
As you come to a halt, 
Announcing it to the world with a short,...
