Best Won Poems
How the West Was WonWhen he emigrated to North Dakota
Daddy came to help fill needed quota
Of young, strong men of honest worth
For untamed land at its new birth.
He met my mother, strong as he,
Raised seven kids including me.
He broke wild mustangs to the halter
And from cold or heat would...

Ballad
You'Ve WonThe anger that from you seeps
All around your aura it does creep
Fingertips of darkness reach from within
To reach the contents of this lonely den
And burns as it touches the skin
Oh words of fire from your lips
As faces melt and begin to drip
Like wax a facade...

He Won My AffectionMenachem Begin, for 28 years sat on Parliament's back bench
Israeli pundits confident he had dug himself a deep trench
He shocked the world in '76 when his party won the election
Said grace in public and kissed the Torah; won my undying affection

Love Has Won
“Heavenly Father, loosen my grip on the things of this world. Lead me in the dance of spontaneous, cheerful giving, and let that generosity remind me always of your grace toward me, which I in no way deserve. In your Son’s name I pray, amen."...

How General Grant Won the Civil WarHe could fight and win battles, could this General Ulysses Grant!
Other of Lincoln's generals were continually sayin', "I can't!"
Though 'twas well-known that General Grant relished his schnapps,
Even soused he could concoct solid battle plans by studyin' his maps.
Becomin' frustrated...

One, Won, OnceOne ,Won, Once
By Chuck Keys
Brightness can be blinding
With your eyes closed
Or with your eyes open.
Darkness can be blinding
With your eyes closed
Or with your eyes open.
As a driveway needs a parked car,
Does color make a difference? Hurtfully
Yes. Yet, we're all the same.
Can a green...

If I Won the LotteryI used to say if I won the lottery, I would buy a big church for my Dad.
But that country preacher has gone to glory, and now has a mansion for his pad.
For my Mother I would buy a big house, and a brand new...

Women Won It AllWomen Won It All
women won it all
was a great national thing
again and again
passed ball here and there

Will this be the year we finally stop hurting?

Three lions on our shirt and we won't be caged
This will be the...

Crazy Hat I WonThere was once this crazy hat that I won,
By shooting out a star with a gun;
It was a whole foot high and yellow and blue,
I used to like to wear it askew;
It had four little bells that hung over my ears,
Their silver has lost it’s...

Are Best WonAre Best Won
Found football for fools
With their ridiculous rules
Different thoughts of schools.
Mules sure are stubborn
Must hit again and again
In of course rear end.
Football have to boot
As I sit like an old coot
Loudly have to hoot.
Super Bowl just won
Whole team will sit in the sun
Now they...

The Poetry ContestThe Poetry Contest
I'll tell you a tale, I'm sure you'll agree
It'll interest those who write poetry
A poets contest
To find one who's best
To go down in historic anthology.
For the contest a massive hall was found
Poets arrived in droves from miles around
Some flew in...
