Best Stan Poems
There was once a little girl who loved snow,
one day, she was rolling snow, oh heave-ho;
and soon she had a snowman,
and she called him stuntman Stan.
At night, he did limbo and fandango !
In the mornings he was found upside down,
it was told, he had been drinking up town;
dancing hip hop and disco,
and even desperado.
Then, one sunny day he had a meltdown !

First Place
A loveable man was Janitor Stan
Ever willing to help to give and serve
A gentle man of modest plan
With never a protest, frown or reserve
Always saw the brighter side of life
Though his cards were not dealt from the top of the pile
In that testing game of blood and strife
Played them with a cheerful acceptance and smile
When his ship foundered in the South China Sea
Then held guest by the Empire of the Sun
With hosts of stern hospitality
He confronted his fate ‘til the contest was won
Later asked about pain and hardship faced
His reply: “it was a beautiful place”
He created The Incredible Hulk and The Amazing Spider-Man.
Stan Lee has died and it has devastated millions of his fans.
He also created The Fantastic Four.
But he didn't stop there, he created even more.
Fans are sad because he didn't survive.
But he did have a long life, he was 95.
If it wasn't for him, the X-Men wouldn't exist.
He was loved by many and he will be missed.
[Dedicated to Stan Lee (1922-2018) who died on November 12, 2018.]

Transit System
The underside of a gutter guard
Moved for mowing...
Destination - 7 feet away from home.
Stan the snail hitches a ride.
Amusement Park Ride
Clinging to the garage door
As it moves upward.
Clinging to the garage door
As it moves downward.
Stan the snail waits for a second ride.
Dangerous Adventure
Secretly hanging off the boy's pant leg.
Stan ends up in a heap of dirty clothing.
Targeted for the deadly washing machine.
Stan the snail crawls away from a poisonous death.

Stan the Snail wished for a ride
On a turtle before Stan died
With his antenna intact
And the wind at his shell's back
He'd relax while enjoying the stride.

Lying upside down
Unaware of upside down
A gust uprights Stan
Antenna Askew
Neck stretches to the heavens
The skew is gone

All those in love, please raise up your hands
Holy crap, that's amazing, more than I'd planned

Every poet and yes
Love's taking over or my name ain't Stan
Whaaaaat???

There once was a man named Stan.
His rump was too big for his van.
He sat down on his couch.
It yelled out a loud ouch.
This made him feel less of a man.
WHEN YOU VISIT ST. LOUIS, HOME OF THE ARCH.
TAKE TIMEOUT, TO VISIT THE PARK.
THIS IS THE HOME, TO THE GREATEST OF ALL.
STAN "THE MAN" MUSIAL OF CARDINAL BASEBALL.
FOR 22 SEASONS, HE PLAYED A GREAT GAME.
WELL DESERVING, OF THE HALL OF FAME.
BACK IN THE FORTIES, HE MADE HIS DEBUT.
IN HIS FIRST PLATE APPEARANCE, NOBODY KNEW.
WITH A BATTING STANCE, YOU COULD DISPUTE.
LIGHTNING FAST REFLEX, YOU CAN'T REFUTE.
EXCELLENT VISION, TO SEE THE BALL.
WHEN IT CAME TO HITTING, HE COULD DO IT ALL.
WITH HIS FINE BASEBALL SKILLS, THE NUMBERS WOULD COME.
CAREER BATTING AVERAGE OF THREE THIRTY ONE.
THE SEASONS BEST AVERAGE 7 TIMES WON.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, HE MUST HAVE HAD FUN.
HE HAD A GREAT SEASON, IN FORTY-THREE.
AS A RESULT, HE WON MVP.
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THIS MVP.
HE WOULD HAVE 2 MORE GREAT SEASONS, FOR A TOTAL OF3.
THIRTY SIX HUNDRED THIRTY HITS TO REMEMBER.
20 TIME ALL-STAR AND HALL OF FAME MEMBER.
LET'S NOT FORGET, ABOUT THE LONG BALL.
FOUR-SEVENTY-FIVE, WOULD CLEAR THE WALL.
THE GAME OF BASEBALL, IS A GREAT LOVE FOR ME.
THE GREAT STAN "THE MAN" MUSIAL, PART OF IT'S HISTORY....

First Place
There should be a special place
In one’s heart and mem’ry
For people who have brightened one’s life
In addition to friends and family
There’s a special place
In my heart and mem’ry
For two special and unique people
Like “Stan and Ollie.”
All those in love, please raise up your hands
Holy crap, that's amazing, more than I'd planned
Who woulda guessed
Every poet and yes
Love's taking over or my name isn't Stan
Stan Kroenke
may ride to LA on a donkey
strew palms at its feet
there are none from where he just beat a retreat.
Stan Keefeet sure loved his old tennis shoes
They did not love him, was not any news
When kicked off
Everyone coughed
With lots of crying and cussing and boos!
