Best Refs Poems

Football coach Bobby Bowden was never one to cuss
But refs make mistakes and coaches have a right to fuss

“St. Bowden” as he was lovingly called by players
Instilled moral values and hushed all the naysayers

He’d not take God’s name in vain, so he coined dadgumit
It became...

Across the ice the players skate around,
Defensemen, goalies, wings and refs abound.
The stands are packed with fans with cups of beer,
The pucks invade the nets to raucous cheer....

They both wear black and white,
Sport’s fans will see some tonight,
As one type skates on frozen water,
The other keeps a herd in order.

The man can get caught up in media hype,
Each has the same angle of stripe,
Only one has them down to the toes,
And tries...

All has come to an end, except for who to proclaim
The winner of The National College Football Championship Game

Excitement is brewing for the play-off game
Some will be at the game watching getting rained on, cold, and excited

The armchair quarterbacks stay at home and watch on...

Pitcher deals.
Center snaps. 
Forward volleys.
Captain kneels.
Wing traps.
Road team rallies.
Runner steals.
Driver laps.
Bookies watch at O'Malleys.
Coach jaws.
Goalie paws.
Mothers pray.
Midfielder moans.
Winners eat macaroons.
Fathers look less gray.

Refs tally the time left
'Til the moon rises.
Fans leave, bereft,
Searching for further surprises....

This is the third in a trilogy of steeler poems and while it is good on its own.I really had fun with this one. All three need read for the full story to be told.

Oh they have won the Superbowl
It's what I said would be

He’s just your average lazy bum — 
a sweet, lovable loser
Who loves to stick his index finger
high in the air,
and tell you he’s number one
When in fact, technically,
his favorite sports team is
It’s success by association, 
as he moons the neighborhood kids
Because he don’t have much...

Real is no longer the topic of conversation 
Searching for the genuine and authentic 
Lost within traditional lies 
My generation has made me almost vomit, I am quite sick 

Copying the moves of the next man 
Original thoughts have been abandoned 
For to be original...

Feel my bare toes weave in and out
Moist mossy green grass
To warm golden-yellow sand

Feel the breeze rush around
My smooth summer-tan skin

Feel stonger winds take control
Over my chin-length chestnut brown hair

Hear the graon of the floating dock
Rocking with wake
From speeding boats

Hear children nextdoor
Scream as they take...

An inferior team who had no right to be there.
Got to a Superbowl by means completely unfair.
Call it a New Orleans Mojo, or even God's Revenge.
The Rams played in a game they shouldn't have been in.


They call it God's Revenge...

Competitiveness in business 
Is a sorry sight to witness 
Cheating if the chance allows 
Lie, slander put them down 

Compare it to a sporting fixture 
You can’t cheat with refs around 
Upfront honesty that features 
In business no rules are found 

Clueless Bosses that are...

Uniforms
By Franklin Price
(inspired by Joe Price)

Uniforms, what do you think?
Better yet, what do you see?
We're most often what we're wearing
Life is uniformity

Think about it for a bit
Very few do not comply
These uniforms, from day to day,
Are the ones that catch your eye

Police are the most...

It is at the half 
And the Hammies have not taken a bath 
Due to the rain 
Schedule was changed and that was a pain 
You see the UK had swamps like in Florida 
Delaying the little piggy’s invitation to be slaughtered,
Playing Manchester City in...
