Premium Member The Sooner Recruit
Fifty years, boy and man, I’ve been a Sooners fan;
And watched thousands of recruits try to make my Sooners Team.
Often, I’ve enviously wondered what it must be like
To be a touted Sooners recruit, living out his dream.

He’d had a great career through high school;
Made good...

Recruit Division
Recruit Division

I never applied to join the Army, a nice man phoned me,
He said I was the type they liked, with a steel certainty,
Plus he happened to mention the nurses on the way,
And the simple matter of doubling up my pay,
I signed.

So after having passed...

There was once a recruit named Hubie Hunt,

   Who hoped to fly but was told "no" so blunt,

      "Sorry, you ain't qualified"

         So Hubie was certified

For President We Should Recruit Horn Limerick

What we at times so often will refute
If we by someone they do well-suit;
Agrees with what we have to say
Not an obstacle getting in the way;
For President should start to recruit.

Premium Member We Recruit a New Mayor
Seven applied for the position of traveling mayor.
Glorious sunrise shined upon the eager new applicants.
Welcome splurge of information came forth rather quickly.
We appoint watchers to take notes on contenders.

Spit dribble out of a mouth twice –ugh!
The concept of napkin never entered his mind?
A divorce does...

Are You a New Recruit
Turn pirate
Or walk the plank?
It's yes or no mate.
If it's yes we celebrate
No it's in to the water you go. I am just
Being frank.
Turn pirate
Nothing is inappropriate
After all we drank.
It's yes or no mate.
We get to keep everything we confiscate
So you'll have gold hidden away...

Realized I Was a Poetry Recruit
Realized I Was A Poetry Recruit

What I realized was I wanted to recruit,
Poem which might be small and minute;
Could tell,
Written well,
And about hope you have given a hoot.

Recruit With An Attribute
Recruit with an Attribute

Results of action was to recruit,
And enlist with a wild attribute;
Up now fired,
And inspired;
Did look plump in a  parachute.

Tribute To New Recruit Horn Haiku
while we paid tribute
she had been a new recruit
always gave a hoot

God is there in air
would be best when we should share
she did with much care

husband a president
from his sins had to repent
She gave her consent

buried in family plot
to heaven by God was brought
we love...

Shoot Trump Recruit Not Giving a Hoot
Shot Trump Recruit Not Giving a Hoot

What we really should do is shoot,
Someone who is a Trump recruit,
And lump of lard;
Complete retard;
Care less and never giving a hoot.

With much joy come up with...

Recruit
RECRUIT

Where’s my heart, my chest is hollow
I have no passion left to cry or emote
Nor any regret, at the vows I broke 
I now belong with very different folk
As my previous life swirls up as smoke
After reading what my master wrote
Now there’s a different path...
