Best Won Poems


Premium Member How the West Was Won
When 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...

You'Ve Won
The 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...

Premium Member He Won My Affection
Menachem 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

Premium Member How General Grant Won the Civil War
He 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, 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...

Premium Member If I Won the Lottery
I 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 All
Women Won It All

women won it all
was a great national thing
again and again

passed ball here and there
until trophy they had won
now we are so proud

will never forget
was such a wonderful day
and would you believe

win, win, win and win
in future hope they can do
one more trophy...

England Won a Penalty Shootout
Many years of dreaming and searching
Will this be the year we finally stop hurting? 
I can't believe these words are coming from my mouth 
I can finally say England won a penalty Shootout

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

Crazy Hat I Won
There 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 Won
Are 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...
