Individual stats matter not in team games
~ Championships are the hallmark of fame
Loser changes name match
The Concernment of People
Cellar Toss verses Mil Mascot
Came about due to the high
Venue prices. Said Peom.
A outlook of fans and media
a Concernment of greed and
Se to dishness, spoke many

Unskilled and troubled.

luctatio they branded the term
to define there interest
it was clear to all involved
Could stand proud and applaud.
Tuxedos and gowns, tonight.
We started out looking
for silver and gold.
We had designed a buckle for
the belt.
We carved it by hand.
It was rather beautiful
I put " Worlds Champion"
across the top.
The eagle was centered below the
Championship claim.
I thought it was rather beautiful
The day of the unveiling, I had asked
Saddlemen to go to the store
and get some nice wine
nothing real fancy or weird.
We needed it to start the celebration.
It's a tradition to start the celebration off with the pour of
the wine.
We poured it into a bassoon.
We don't drink it we trow it out.
I gave him enough for two bottles.
One to start the celebration and the other to end the evening.
It's fun you know I really think people
are gonna have a great time tonight!
The kings of backgammon, descendants of
Bulgarian kings and Austro-Hungarian princes
Russian counts and countesses, Czech barons
Your ancestors have seen better days.
They accepted their fate as the natural state of affairs
And when it turned out to be just a fickle fortune
They had the nurture and tact not to show their shock,
Though usually such a ruthless discovery crushes many.
Now, as you spend your days playing backgammon in smoky cafes
You rarely remember the fragments of days gone by.
You've learnt to rejoice in trifling victories, and not to be disheartened by losses.
The descendants of exiled kings and ruined nobles
They organise championships of sad joy
The winner owes a round of beer for everyone.
The new Russian opposition makes the right acquaintances
Just like the old one did a hundred years ago
And in their later years, they all convert to Catholicism
Since Orthodox churches don't have pews
At least with Catholics you can doze off unnoticed
With a sniff of incense through the candle light.
It is hard to be enthused when you realize your team sucks.
wasting a long evening witnessing that very fact
Next year will be better the season just started
next year never comes just the perpetual pain of losing
While everyone else improves and wins and reaches new zenith
your team stuck in the doldrums of gut wrenching disappointment
You watch in shock while your chicken wing goes limp in your hand
no one can play that bad, it is on purpose.
Sleepy Sunday after an exhausting Saturday of no way.
Had hopes dreams aspirations of a great season, championships
being number one and then they play the games.
Finally turning this program around but it just spins in circles
of loserville. Start rooting for hated rival, they're back and on top
and next to humiliate your team.
It's just a game but another season of no fun.
For someone to win your team will gladly lose.
Take a nap it's another sleepy Sunday.
i was chosen for the next moon landing
and my co-passengers arrived at the meeting
in lightweight space suits
but i wore my black leather jacket
to show my contempt for space
i speak to anyone in similar attire
in supermarket queues i've jumped
to tell a co-customer i like that
the world beard and moustache championships were postponed
due to the covid-19 pandemic
tailored jackets are in
and jacket potatoes are overrated
can't wear a fedora 'til your seventies; i
am the Fonz jumping sharks on water skis
in my leather jacket
but i'll tell you who's not cool -
the flapjack octopus
i took the kids to a magic show
i wore it there;
to show my contempt for fun
Staying above the Line
Means finding a management team that
looks out for your interest.
all that's here.
great performers are gifted by God!
We guide our performers to trophies and
Championships

~ Limerick Style ~
At an age when most men are watching their stomachs grow
Tom Brady had second thoughts about hanging up his cleats, and so
He simply unretired
And instantly inspired
Legions of balding, middle-aged men to chuck a few passes
~ and sprain their right elbow
_______________________________________________________
Tom Brady is the Greatest American football quarterback of all-time.
He has led his teams to a record 7 Super Bowl Championships. Last
month, at age 44, he came within a couple of whiskers of doing it again.
He's also tall, dark and handsome; married to super-model, Gisele
Bundchen; and has a brilliant future in whatever arena he chooses
to enter -- after he wins another Super Bowl next February, that is!
At a sports event in Europe*
Norway got a hefty fine
For their players were competing
In some shorts that crossed the line.
For the only proper bottoms
Are bikinis, so the crowd
Gets a peek at much more tush
Than what it seems the shorts allowed.
As the spectators were cheering,
Maybe Norway got some boos,
Since the team from Spain provided
Much more titillating views.
*Beach handball championships
This game so popular, a Euro ball
all over the world, it's globally played
even the Euro Championship this year
everyone looked forward many said
It should have been played in 2020
but due to covid delayed till now
so many things leftover from last year
amazing skill to delight in, WOW!
But now the time has arrived
it's all action nothing else but play
real competition nothing left to spare
many wishing to win on their day
Being a Scot hoping for the best
promise so much but fail to deliver
but maybe this time we'll rise above
to show ourselves so very clever
So hope everybody enjoys it all
the football is firstly top class
being why we call it a beautiful game
real quality all the way to the final pass
(The European Football Championships (Euro 2020) have just started a year late! It runs from June 11th, 2021 to July 11th, 2021: a whole month: a feast of football! This is written on this feast of football and my thoughts upon it.)
Ellie was going to play in the World Scrabble
Championships in Thailand but format had changed,
instead of the usual English rules, it was sexual,
all words now were risque' with no decency at all.
She was horrified but somehow still agreed to play,
closed her eyes and wondered what mother might say;
there was still the fifty point bonus for seven letter word,
like 'bollock' which all sounded rather absurd.
There was a triple word score when she put '*****,'
and another bonus for even managing '********,'
double letter score for dumping the 'X' in sex,
there were numerous laughs when she managed 'sucks.'
It wasn't enough, she was just out of her league,
and finally had to give up due to sexual fatigue.
Now that your birthday is here,
We hold you very dear.
The years of growing up,
Beautiful and sacred.
Your excellent father and mother,
Nice that you have a little brother.
Gymnastics your favorite sport,
Along with hockey.
Congratulations on your championships,
Grandma is very proud of you as well as all your relatives.
I am happy that you enjoy school
Friends that are really cool.
I hope that you have a healthy and happy year at school and at home.
God bless and hugs from grandma Gwen.
A celebration with family and friends,
Happy Birthday my beautiful granddaughter Maya.
