We all love and applaud the winners
As we feel sorry for the losers
We love women, without them, we're nobody
Women are the fruits and the gems of our society
Whoopee! Congratulations to the USA Women's Soccer Team
For winning their fourth World Cup. This is a dream
For everybody to be champions
This is an outstanding accomplishment
Let's all enjoy this wonderful moment
Hurrah! Yippee! These women are heroes of actions
We are proud of them. They deserve at least equal pay
For equal work. I pray that nothing stands in their way
Thank you for the great soccer/football skills
That you have shown throughout the tournament
In France.Your ladies are lovely, winsome and elegant
You inspire me and give me enough energies and chills
To never give up, to work hard or to strive to succeed
May God grant all good health to survive and to lead!

Not to cast the first stone,
we stood alone.
paladins of justice.
Just us.
You’ll hear an earth shattering crunch,
hesitation that is broken instantly.
Lick the eight ball and throw a punch.
Devouring a scared reflection for lunch,
got out and be who you’re meant to be.
You’ll hear an earth shattering crunch.
Shadows of doubt you must expunge.
Champions aren’t developed delicately,
lick the eight ball and throw a punch.
Letting go of the frailty of a runch,
hands will gather aggression idly.
You’ll hear an earth shattering crunch.
It begins with little more than a hunch,
don’t be too cautious or move hastily.
Lick the eight ball and throw a punch.
There is nothing seen as too much
to the brave who dream aggressively.
You’ll hear an earth shattering crunch,
lick the eight ball and throw a punch.
Doors litter Existence,
Each a different chance.
You cant just glance,
If Opened you must dance.
Through the whole experience,
To evolve and enhance,
The souls performance,,
We Exit champions.
Moving forward into the expanse,
Seeing ourselves in the distance,
As we grow with existence.
Accepting our difference,
Creates the significance,
,Of it's many participants.
Each a door of chance,
Will you find romance,
Or travel the expanse,
Champions of chance.
Enjoy the dance,
You choose what expands,
Creating the strands,
Door after door,
Connecting you to so much more,
To explore within existence.
In the Caribbean's embrace, where legends roam,
India's cricket soared to claim their home.
Eleven years in the shadows, a relentless chase,
Now crowned in Barbados, with finesse and grace.
Rohit Sharma's bat, a master's touch,
Surya Kumar Yadav, with style so much.
Virat Kohli's passion, a captain's flame,
Rishabh Pant's audacity, forever the game.
Hardik Pandya's power, unleashed and bold,
Jasprit Bumrah's Yorkers, tales untold.
Arshdeep's guile, Kuldeep's spins spun,
Ravindra Jadeja's brilliance, under the sun.
Axar Patel's artistry, Siraj's fervent might,
Sanju Samson's elegance, pure delight.
Together they forged, a team so grand,
In Barbados' sands, victory's hand in hand.
Cheers echoed in Bridgetown, hearts did swell,
As India's anthem rang, their triumph to tell.
In the T20 realm, a new chapter begun,
Legends etched in glory, under the Caribbean sun.
From generation to generations, thy redeemer lives
From age to ages, He never fails
In all dealings, thy conquer
He always come through, breaking chains and shackles
The undisputed CHAMPION, without dispute
Who is like thee, Our Champion... MOST HIGH in fairyland!!!
Always fair and consistent, Above
Elevator of, the Low at buttom
Finds the lost, makes a way
Beautiful and worthy in all ways, maker of heaven and earth
Breeder of light and dark, maker of night and dawn
Giver of all, relentlessly
Dynamic leader, catalysts of growth, catapulting the down cast
Sitted, above and below, rewarder of, the good and bad.
Freedom's flame ignites,
From every nation's heart,
Heroes rise in light.
Gandhi's gentle strength,
Mandela's enduring fight,
Chavez, a beacon.
Across distant lands,
Aung San Suu Kyi's plight,
Malcolm's righteous rage.
Garvey's call to arms,
Rosa's quiet defiance,
Bhutto's fearless voice.
Chávez leads the charge,
Bolívar's dream takes flight,
Park's iron resolve.
In each heart, they live,
Their legacy burning bright,
Freedom's champions.
Their names etched in time,
Inspiring souls to fight,
For liberty's sake.
Old CAP'N CRUNCH was hanging out one day
With the bunch at SPECIAL K Ranch
When FROOT LOOPS from the city rode by
With their pay CHEX in their pants
Greeted them each with warm CHEERIOS
Asked them if they'd ever SHREDDED WHEAT
They were full of PEP and said no not yet
His shock was TOTAL and COMPLETE
So he thought he'd show these SUGAR PUFFS
Just how cow pokes get their KIX
He mounted his faithful horse APPLE JACKS
And performed a bunch of neat TRIX
He turned on the JETS and performed like a vet
Wearing LUCKY CHARMS on his belt
Landed on his MUFFET when his horse reared up
Crushed his NUTS 'N HONEY they swell't
The most important meal of the day
Is a healthy breakfast,
If nutritionists are to be trusted.
But "healthy" depends on one's point of view,
So that bubble's about to be busted.
How do chickens and pigs figure into the plan,
And what's the value of their contribution?
And how much credit should each one get
For cholesterol and protein distribution?
In a hearty breakfast of ham and eggs
The following must be admitted:
The chicken is more or less involved,
The pig is fully committed.

they have what it takes
like sunset colors on blue
strength guts and virtue
like the orange sun
they are natural leaders
in red robin days
like rainbow colors
they have that extra something
in triumph or loss
Astros shooting stars
now they know their ABCs

His retirement the champion announced,
After he was in their fight trounced,
And like a tennis ball bounced…
On him had his challenger pounced,
His strength not letting him use an ounce,
And forcing him to hit the canvas, not once!
Soon, the press,
To painfully address,
And meekly renounce,
All that he did archly pronounce…
The cruelest punch finally goes to rest,
For being no longer The Best.
