Best Phelps Poems
The Olympic SwimmerWhat thing seems to make men King Kong?
It lies under Michael Phelps’ thong
With each stroke of grace
See a free style freebase
That huge bulging spot is a bong...

Her SorrowsShe's in the cut, with a different kind of fabric
She earns minimum wage, but her Instagram is lavish
Trust me I don't know how she keeps the balance
Probably got a married man who injects cash in her balance
That's why it's not a challenge
Until he gets tired...

If Chronic Pain Were Olympic Sport'If chronic pain were Olympic sport'
Morning shocks me with a jolt
Night time flies like Usain Bolt
If dream of sleep were 'lympic pride
My pain within I'd win not hide
If feeling tired, was winning gold
My chronic illness medal hold
We would be there chasing Mo
If energy won...

The SportsBasketball is fun.
I can play as a point guard,
A shooting guard and
Dunk the ball like Kobe Bryant.
Boxing is also my interest.
Although it's a dangerous sport,
I like to see two top fighters
Pacquiao versus Mayweather, Jr.
Although I'd like to try a gulf game,
Playing a ball is...

Westboro Baptist Church Member At a FuneralWestboro Baptist Church Member At A Funeral
By Elton Camp
A sign he held and tee shirt wore
Same as he went to funerals before
Mourners gathered around the grave
To him, some outraged looks gave
While they were dressed all in black
He had “God Hates You” front & back
The...

A Walk To FreedomA Walk to Freedom
Nelson 'Madiba' Mandela,
Needless I say more.
But 'cos I need scribble 'bout a gross words,
I'll erupt the plain white stadium with my trusted 'vuvuzela'.
What's life without heartbreaks?
What are roses without thorns?
What's a party without cakes?
What're doughnuts without holes?
Closing in on freedom,
Its walk is...

Asteroid Belts9/10/16
Polar ice caps continue to melt
Below asteroid belts
And above beds of kelp
Materials being smelt
Hyped up and stocked across the shelf
Better focus on your health
As much as, if not more than you do with wealth
Keep swimming, you don't have to be as good as Phelps
Near and...

Theres a Fly In My SoupAs I sit and try to imagine,
I look and find another distraction,
find there's a fly in my poetry soup,
quite like a Michael Phelps swimming laps
around like an Olympian champion,
he must think he's pretty cool
using my bowl of soup like a swimming pool,
as I disdainfully sit...

Michael's Final OlympicsThe Louvre debuted an exhibit today:
Cascading Marbles of Ripples and Folds.
In waves came patrons in trenches to see
what secrets David, the masterpiece, holds;
Each stroke of genius from Michelangelo,
memories written by one fountain pen.
The stories of glory reflected in mirrors,
standing on mantels as sculptures - not...

My Last SweetheartAll good things come to an end
And this is my last gymnastics sweetheart for now
Until another gymnast comes along
And steals my heart away like each one of the five
My fifth gymnastic sweetheart is Jaycie Phelps!
Now she didn't become one of my sweethearts
Until I read...

ForgottenAround me are whispers in the wind,
Promises for another time and day;
Sunlight slips around my shoulder,
Warmth, feeling its way.
Will I know the time of wind,
Or let it slip right through my hands?
Promises forgotten, misplaced,
Buried beneath the blowing sands.

It's Not Me This TimeIt's like I can't do anything right
Like everything I do deserves a fight
Is it because I am wrong
Like slow dancing to a really fast song
Or is it because I try to make peace
But all of our money has just been released
Living...

LostLet the games begin, may the best swimmer win, so is the tale at inception.
Unlike Michael Phelps, we are no geniuses at backstrokes.
It's a miracle, out of millions of possible combinations, we even won the race.
Just imagine a field of billions of people that all...
