Best Racket Poems


Life Is Like a Tennis Racket
The head of a racket has many holes
Hit one just right, and a target is scored
Not every shot can accomplish your goals
Practice is needed, it can’t be ignored!
Connect with the wrong shot, you miss the win
Disappointment will come you can be sure
Regret in your bad...

Half Term Racket
My charges are both off school.
"What shall we do today?"
"Can we please go to Jesters,
The day's all dull and grey."

So I'm in a soft play centre,
There's a cacophony of sound,
Children, screaming, shrieking,
My head's starting to pound.

The children are having lots of fun,
Climbing, sliding, swinging,
But the...

Infernal Racket
Infernal Racket

Trump turned out to be nocturnal;
Every time he would use the urinal
He appeared to have blushed
Each time toilet was found flushed
Could not stop racket which was infernal.

 DODGE COOKIES USE CNTRL SHIFT N....INCOGNITO BROWSING

Yes winders bloody winders,
The bastard’s bogging up today,
And the cookies bloody cookies ,

So you clear out the cookies
Keep the passwords dumble dumb,
Or programs will krapp about all over,
Wheres me password, grumble bum???...

From 'Hearty Racket' To Happy Banter
They have in their senses,
A bloated self-image worthy of pulling the best.
Letter-assortments, their sense, they knew not,
Yet march on with leaps of obstinacy to brim.
Subtly aided by the fairest in all,
Visualed only due to sacrifice of self
So maintained, would ever beget close but forget house.
Once...

Requiem For a Racquetball Racquet's Racket
Was gettin' kind of loud,
On the court one day,
The proprietor called out,
to keep the noise level down
Hence the title,
Your tongue-twister clown!...

Innocent of the Racket
I was strolling to the entrance of the Barley Tavern,
when I was passed at quite a rate by angry Billy Brown.
He’s mumbling and cursing before he kicked the Tavern cat,
and blamed it as the reason for his marriage breaking down.

With the cat completely winded and...

The Pleasant Racket
That cheese and apple affect,
chaotic yells for morning
revolutionised
by the simple cup of tea.

With smiling echo's in grim passageways
of graffiti laughs,
concrete surfs
and chewing gums dalmatian.

Rackets of rain
like falling rivers
are the singing shouts of
ambient joy....

Racket
The radio, the children and thoughts in my head
If I crave concentration, I must go to bed
Can’t think through the racket
I simply won’t have it
I’ll get this piece written, one day, when I’m dead...

The Racket Works Hard
Quick step side step,
Backwards and forwards.

Points build up and the audience watches,
Fits clench when the advantage is yours,
It’s all about winning second does not matter.

The crowd still applauds whether you win or lose,
Head held high or head held low.

You have given it your all,
No more...

Premium Member A Girl With a Racket
Cannot forget this dear friend from my youth,
Met her on practice wall, lithesome and fair,
Charms of a waitress, a confidence there,
‘Beauty,’ her virtue, and that is the truth.

Friendship developed, we flirted at court,
Love of the stroke, not to win, was her art,
Net ever-present to keep...

be called 
Doctor Racquet and

Cat Came Unglued
Standing in the doorway, somewhat dishabille,
the neighbor's cat had staked out my grill.
The night before we'd barbecued
some fish and fries and other food.
And now the smells lingering still,
perked up that puss like a pep pill.
At first, I heard disquietude
stalking my deck with attitude.
And in her...
