Best Nabbing Poems

speech and debate team members
competed every week
new schools, new judges, input sought

national finals at Niagara University
eleven hundred contestants 
vying for trophies worth their weight in gold

mix up the meter, don't stress the rhyme
select a "poem" that would be unique
then give it your own tweak

Adulterous besieging capstone damnation
exploitation foists groping, heaving
insidiously jerking
knowingly lunges
machinations notoriously nymphomaniacal 
officiating penile quests
rapaciously, sadistically 
tenaciously, unstoppably 
vasocongested wickedness 
Xerses yawped zeolously.
*************************** 
All throughout history of  man/woman kind
ascendent civilizations extensively gouged, 
impailed, kindled, murderous outrages 
quashing sacred urges, women yearned.

Versatile thematic refrain punctuating nubiles...

While I was walking through a meadow, of blooms and sunshine,
I stopped to spread my blanket, for a gay picnic at lunchtime.

It was very pleasant, and I had brought many good things to eat.
Afterwards I took a refreshing nap, in the cozy summer suite!

Upon awaking...

It was late into the night 
When Bert Ernie and I
Were traveling across the plans of Nebraska

Much to my surprise 
Bert looks me straight in the eyes
And says Mike, I gotta question to ask ya

With Big Bird wrapped up in the trunk
You'd think that he'd...

Seed - scattered strewn or downtrodden.
Grain stuck on passive flytrap mucus.
Wild life biomes ripe with  open sesame.
Frantic birth pangs stiffen their gestations as green  leaf ferments bubble underneath.
Mother of all wombs, diva pulse or fertile runner bean. 
Maternal youth. 
Eternal youth.
Bamboo shoots that...

(alternately titled: ah me go march'n home on derange)

I'll play the devil's advocate, yet
prepare a stance with pitchfork
     against misinterpreted faux attempt
     to describe, how whet

Haunting, they came to me
Eating away all the joy I see
Amid laughter so free
Lingering, I thought it’ll be 
Inside a soul of bliss and glee…
Nabbing away the rest of me
Gladly smiling, they invaded me 

Many hours I cried for thee 
Each day I hoped you’d...

Ere becoming pets we were wolves
Roaming chainless, hunting hares
Hadn't signed the bond of serfdom yet
Nor had learnt to fawn
Then mortgaged freedom for crumbs
Wore dog collar, the slavery-symbol
To earn accolades, learnt snobbishly
The art of detecting thefts and nabbing crime
But despite our serving him
Man was bent on...

Doctors (particularly biomedical engineers)...

and zero scores ago living in Bryn Mawr

A Warlock was counting the bounties
From nabbing a Coven of Aunties
When to his dismay
Discovered that day
They all hid "The Curse" in their panties!...

Bandit of Sherwood

A man from the ‘hood name of Robin
Insults to the sheriff was lobbin’
     But Robin the rapper
     Got locked in the crapper
When he heard Maid Marion sobbin’

The sheriff claimed Robin of Sherwood
Was not nabbing gold...

The cops are on the roads today
And this is why, I’d bet,
Their ticket quotas for the month
Have not been filled quite yet.

This is the last day of the month
And so the pressure’s on
To catch some speeders in the hours
Before the day is gone.

We saw them...

I set my snares in sea of dreams
to catch my share of dreams in common.
I'm waiting,
killing time playing cards
with the trawler men,
who are much better
at cards than me.
I wait to see the dreams wiggle
in the nets,
like bats, birds and fishes.
Which one will come to me?
How...

Time and again
jovial imp does succeed
at collecting aggregate of infinite moments
nabbing, snagging and yoking yours truly,
a fortitudinous erstwhile
citizen banker travels at warp speed
impossible mission to thwart tempus fugit
analogous to ambuscade by time thief
little rascal who steals
most precious commodity

right before mine myopic eyes
abstract artificial construct
