Best Loses Poems
When a Daughter Loses Her Father
When I was just just a little girl I thought I knew it all
But as the years passed by I have never felt so small
I never knew what life would be like without you teaching me
But now I'm lost and am scared but there's no way to flee
Dad I know you'd...

When a Son Loses His Father
Now that he's without him
what is he working for
He had never truly realized
His dad drove him to want more
With working came acceptance
replaced emotions he concedes
and his father unavailable,
he kept his schedule filled with deeds,
When his father passed away
it broke him to the core
just learning he and his dad
had things in common they stood for
His dad...

The Air Traffic Controller Loses It
The Air Traffic Controller Loses It
By Elton Camp
In a job where there's lots of stress
It is all too easy to create a mess
Bob was so exhausted he flipped out
And forgot what his job was all about
He sent the same message to every plane
No longer on the ground need you remain
Every single plane waiting out there...

Santa Claus Loses His Naughty Or Nice List
Santa lost his “NAUGHTY or NICE” list this year,
What happened to the helpful elves he hired?
Which SPOILED children will exuberate in cheer,
which one of his elves will ultimately be fired?
What kind of devised SCHEME has transpired?
So many questions with unknown facts,
Who is responsible for this eradication?
Maybe Santa should go and trace his tracks,...

Jesus Loses Red Card Appeal
Dependable Defender Jésus Christ of Nazareth Football Club
This morning lost His appeal for the red card He received
During His side game with the highly rated Pharisees
He’ll be unavailable for their match against the Sadducees
He was sent off by no-nonsense referee Pontius Pilate
For defeating a host of Principalities and Powers
The Club failed to have the...

For love never loses its own

When the Conch Shell Loses Its Roar
"We won't have a society if we destroy the environment."
- Margaret Mead
It's time to face the facts, Jack, Jill;
give the marsh back to the ocean,
move uphill. Give the river back
its mouth, the shore to the sea.
It's way past time to clean the obscene –
ness from the blue-green waters...

Santa Claus Loses His Naughty Nice List
Many thousands of bright stars, will guide Santa tonight.
On a cold Christmas Eve, through snow crisp and deep.
Now Santa's sleigh's laden, with lots of new toys.
All gifts for small children, now in dreamland asleep.
When Santa confessed, to losing his...

Words Said and Indited When a Perusal of a Scriptural Tome Loses Its Momentum
The poetical books are nearly, by me, complete;
Next follows those once-furled, parchmentlike
Scribal tablets on which were calligraphically
Indited the books classified as
Naught but "prophetical"-
After the major and minor scribes,
The authors of which, and those of the first grouping of the
Newer set of scriptural books:
Those of the evangelical order;
The momentum engendered by the...

When Everything Else Loses Its Voice
We're now into the year of twenty twenty three
And still there's no solution to see eye to eye
Will we learn since descending from the trees
Or are we everending to simply walk on by
Lifes global insecurities amidst epidemic rife
Whilst conglomeration greed suffocates souls
Lacerating lives like a dark alley flick knife
It'll never be for the poor, only...

Humanity Loses To Big Oil Dakota Injustice
....happening a few hours north and west of where I live in Minneapolis
Bulldozers pushed earth into mounded walls all along the watchtower.
Wild Sunflowers, roots exposed, gasped for life, uncomfortablysideways, faces driven into
mud.Stun-gun wires, the few that escaped the eyes of the cleaners, barbed claws still red from piercing skin, poked up in human...

Winner Loses
Grandma hid her ticket-where? No one knew
She hadn’t a clue what Grandpa might do
When he lit the chimney fire
Grandma wanted to expire
She was thinking ‘bout what flew up the flue

No One Loses At Strip Jeopardy
No One Loses At "Strip Jeopardy!"
by Rick Rucker
My late wife and I used to play it with glee,
Saying "No one loses at 'Strip Jepoardy!'"
Answer a question right, then you see,
You don't have to shed clothes, you are covered completely!
Answer it wrong, your clothes you take off,
Too many wrong, and the last garment you doff.
This is...
