Perfect Future

Stories shown in the movies
Have their own happy endings; 
Either fiction or true-to-life, 
The heroes win over the villains.

A hard working student
Is vying for some honors; 
Taking up tests and quizzes, 
He comes up with flying colors.

An athlete dreaming to win
Has been vindicated finally; 
Though mission seems impossible, 
The buzzer's sound signals victory.

Pleasing everybody is hard
For a leader or president; 
Pressured by the opposition, 
He makes a graceful exit.

One sweet love story
Has been shared by a writer; 
Though lovers walk the fires, 
They live happily ever after.

So if one wants a brighter tomorrow, 
Begin to think of a better picture; 
Then say and do what is holy, 
For the good man there's a perfect future.

MinceMeat Chronicles RagMag Interview Double Bogey

I reed-member the time when
we were down ; we were suspended by
the promoter in the South Side League
this guy owned both a Hockey teaam, a Roller Derby Team
and he was a Wrestling Promoter.
I got suspended and couldn't
get a job due to him owning every team or company in the area.
I gotta call from "Begging Idiouce" Beazel Grantchorea Promoter in the Provdence area.
He had  The Territorial Wrestling Organization. The Territories Championship
was an equvlant of the Worlds title.
The guy who held the title
was a well built athlete, a wrestling talent he was a draw on all fronts
he could really, really out wrest most guys in pro wrestling.
People loved this guy. I got a bout with him.
I beat him in 12 minutes. The crowd went completly silent and began booing. I knew what was going on
and began a high taling manuver to get out of the areana. I snached the title and headed to the dressing room: I heard an giantic BOO!
I took my check and got into the limo and left the building.
Those hockey jerks
had lead the boo's
they were in the audience,
I vowed to get them, I needed to find a partner.
I stayed away from the arena, until I could get someone to watch out for my interest. I called: Rockstar's and Crooners trying to get one of there bodyguards to
and mangement to look out for my interest. Those Hockey Jerks had us out numbered but I knew that a musicail angle could get over here. No one beleived me I didn't mind the boo's but I'm still human you know. I got "Crooner" Hambone Notatez to be my manger! and Dizzy Dillpepper
to be my tagteam partner. "Dizzy" coould really wrestle, and could out wrest guy's better then him. He could get a win outta a lossing situation. I liked that quality. That night in the Bronx we wanted to wrestle: but the jerks wanted to brawl we, gave the croowd a great show!

Premium Member It Visits From Their Night

It stands nigh, seven foot
This beast of the night
Body of man
Such an immaculate sight

Hands like shovels
That will grasp your last breath
Claws so sharp, will leave your body
Torn, reft

This creature, this soul
From a dark forgotten past
Drawn back to the modern
One look, you'll gasp

Torso befitting
An athlete of it's race
Incisors so cutting
Will leave you defaced

To be fortunate to meet
On any given night
Welcome to your past
Your introduced by it's sleight

It stands nigh, seven foot
This beast of the night
If there's one, there must be others
Who'll deliver us from sight

Premium Member A Poem Scribed By a Buccaneer From Barry University

In St. Pete 
Where there is heat 
They will compete 
In a game that may not be so sweet 

You see there are these knights 
Who must fend off the herd and all their fights, 
With a forecast for rain many may want to complain 
About this holiday week event that has a Pirate name

Since the score has a spread of double digits 
It maybe as exciting as shopping for stocking stuffer widgets. 
Hope the fan will understand for the player this is their final exam
Offense, defense they will all play their part with the hopes of getting a professional football start.  

Do not complain in the rain since the players may be in search of fortune and fame
Instead stoke the fire and remember how you were noticed to get your first job hire
For that position that turned into a lifelong mission. 
That is what these bowl games are all about 
For a collegian athlete to get their name out 

If the underdog makes the spread 
An ego may get fed, 
But if it gets out of hand 
Then the favorite will pass this athletic stand
Showing their skills that may get that Sunday check to pay the bills. 
If you end up drenched and wet 
Do not forget 
This little poem and its message’s tone

You see Over on the ship the ghost of Gasperella will sit 
Watching the football play out its sporting script 
Wondering if the Herd will outsmart the knights 
By keeping a winning score in their sights 
But for Marshall the call may be to get a job down at the discount clothing store at the mall. 
It could be UCF who could come up big 
And take home the success of this matinee gig 
For what it is worth 
It could be competitive in the fourth 
And if it is not 
Then enjoy the romantic logs which should be burning hot. 
It is the holiday season which gives us a reason 
To say good luck to all 
And we will see both teams back in the fall.

Jeremy Lin

Chinese people everywhere
Are cheering for the Knicks.
They’re rooting for their favorite fan,
Who’s managed to transfix.

Of course, they want their team to score
But whether lose or win,
They’ll get the thrills they need
By chanting for their own J. Lin.

For Jeremy, a Harvard man,
Is living, breathing proof
A brainy Asian athlete
Isn’t anything to spoof.

I get the Chinese mindset
And I understand their pride;
Since folks like them in sports are few,
Their joy is justified.

It feels familiar, ‘cause I knew
That feeling, oh so rich,
When years ago, I got to see
A fellow landsman pitch.

His name was Sandy Koufax,
His religion one I share;
And every Jewish baseball fan
Of that was well aware.

When you’re in the minority,
It really feels so good
To celebrate a star who comes
From your part of the ‘hood.

Premium Member Poetry And The Poet

Though poetry requires 
a sense of rhythm-form
(for clear recognition)
approach varies greatly,
the size of the word-ship
and runway -- 
whether calm sailing
or raging storm -- 
an even glide
or extreme dive alarm -- 
the pilot of his poem
the Imager of his sea and sky,
some plot more
while others, haphazardly 
simply take-off and fly -- 

what is poetry?
what is living?
calmly controlled aspirations
while the athlete pushing beyond
safe limits, what we are
secure with~ or also phantasmagoric?

thus having choice of Free-range
a poet, I believe, will often test his craft
will chance a dunk and raft
will test his life
will break-ranks
and recklessly
daringly explore it!

Ben Jesson

Whilst doing a degree at Aberdeen University, 
In marine biology, Ben started to do archery, 
Along which shooting which he took to more, 
Until the international stage was an open door. 

At the age of fifteen a disorder was diagnosed, 
Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, which disclosed, 
Is a hereditary nervous system disorder, feet, 
Which causes his foot drop in both of his feet. 

He’s an SH1 athlete and joined the British team, 
In 2011 when he travelled to Alicante of glean, 
And also took part in Mandeville’s Internationals, 
To qualify for London’s Paras, made the finals. 

Ben did well at the 2015 Shooting World Cup, 
Where he finished ninth to make Rio his cup;
He was born on the 19th of February in 1988,
And shoots in the mixed R3-10m prone bate.

More Than An Athlete - Secretariat

"more than an athlete"

from the moment of birth you stood tall
with balance and strength you ran strong
for the love of freedom you were above all
it wasn't that you were a champion to rule
no other compared or could sing your song
trumpets sounded for you to hear
at that moment the sword was near
more than an athlete you remain Secretariat
three fine races were yours for the winning
demonstrating power excellence endurance
you set both stage and show from the beginning
with fullness of wonderment heart and eagerness
to this day your legacy is held with reverence
although one other ran your race to fame
your body of strength is a burning flame
more than an athlete you remain Secretariat
