Best Sportstime Poems


Rock, Paper, Scissors

I have a theory to test
I always thought scissors was best
When I throw scissors down
A rock comes around
I should have done paper I guess

Next time it is paper I throw
And just like that don’t you know
His scissors appears
And my paper it shears
A rock would have won it and so

The next time it’s rock in my hand
I’ll win it this time – I’m the man
Then his paper comes out
Wraps my rock without doubt
This game I just don’t understand

But you know the next time we meet
He’ll be the one that is beat
I just have to think through it
Don’t know how I’ll do it
But somehow I’ll learn how to cheat

2nd place finish in contest

Premium Member The 2008 World Series

Here in October of 2008,
all Phillies fans are feeling great.
The boys in pinstripes just won it all.
They are the champions of baseball.
The team’s play did certainly enthrall.
On Broad Street, everyone stands tall.
For just the second time in history,
the Phils won the ultimate victory.
Four games out of five, they beat Tampa Bay.
The Rays are the team that had to pay.
Even though it is too crowded around here,
it is the right place and time to celebrate and cheer,
I only have one more line to rhyme.
We will remember this moment for a long time.
