Premium Member Getting It Speak Now

Everyone’s getting covid. It’s become serious.
And pretty much everyone here is triple vaxxed. 
1 in 17 at Yale have it now. One of my roommates got it.
I’m hoping I get it - if I get it - before finals. 
‘cause I doubt Yale professors would give extensions.
“You’re dying? Did you not read the syllabus? NO extensions”

“What were you like as a kid?“ He asked. 
Umm, “naïve..,” “boyish.. obsessive.” I answered, thoughtfully.
And how would you describe yourself now? He follows-up. 
Umm, “less naïve..” “boyish.. obsessive.,” we laughed.

2006: Taylor Swift releases her first album. I was three years old.
I grew up with her - every breakup, every turns-out-gay boyfriend.
She’s brilliant - don’t get me wrong - no doubt in the universe,
but she’s not the underdog any more - not an outsider - she’s FAB rich, 
royalty, no, better than royalty. And she has the Taylor army.
Why is she always threatening physical violence?
Taylor is gay and straight, she’s republican, rageful, erotic and complex.
And I want to believe she actually ran someone down aka a Gatsby
She’s the Alexander Pope of our generation.
I’m just questioning the Taylor Swift breakup-industrial-complex.

Is Pete Davidson hot? I can’t decide.
He looks sort of gangly and awkward.
He’s dating Kim Kardashian.
I mean it’s not like Kanye is hot.
She’s obviously not looking for THAT.


I Haint No Recalcitrant Underdog Among Hoi Polloi

occasionally rocketing, outsourcing, 
kickstarting, feigning

Life in the K9 corps
ain't so doggone ease zee
absolutely daunting, hence
lemme share with ye
haunting, and unnerving, the whee
kid nasty, short, and brutish
ways, and truth be told,
I would rather be outwardly
hidebound, gagged, and flagellated

strangled to death by bonafide vee

Premium Member Chelsea's Two Sins On Goal

Chelsea was supposed to be on top 
At the half time stop 
But it was M U 
That got one through 
One nil 
As everyone left their seats for a fill 

Hopefully it will change for pensioners in blue 
Since the score could not be true 
All Chelsea needed is one goal here and one goal there 
Nothing much to be scared 
Chelsea started to show their offenses 
In order that the public could win some pences 
It didn’t take long for one to go in 
But the Red Devil’s complained there was a sin 
Chelsea was playing too aggressive 
With the yellow card sent as a message 
A foul was called and created a stall 
They went to video review 
And the home crowd booed. 
No goal so cold 
A few minutes later Manchester United used their head 
Another goal enough said
Two nil and big blue were headed for a big spill 
Chelsea had no subs in the tank 
And MU surely were on their way to the bank 
With the hour getting late 
There was a glimmer of light on the Monday night date 
From The bird’s eye view the ball knew exactly what to do
But the video stepped in 
And said ‘offsides another Chelsea sin’ 
In this match that seemed stolen 
Since it was one that Chelsea should phone in 
Back home Manchester U will go 
Thinking about if this was just a nice stop in a football touring show 
Manchester won this fight 
Underneath Stamford bridge on this giving night. 
Hail to Manchester United the victor 
Who won the match by making Chelsea bicker

Ring Ding Dong Our favorite Song

On this and in many occasions
We've seen him proudly display
His titles along side of his
World Championship.
Tonight he enters the ring a
Battered and Bruised man.
Allowing a non contender to
Best him, and then again being
defeated by the number one
Contender. He was battered and
bruised by the two and took the microphone 
In front of an unsatisfied crowd saying it's 
Obvious you all don't like me  To then have
a guy who has been an upright official come in
To help him after the brawl, to pummel your
Worlds Champion who refuse any help, he wanted
To do it his self 
On the gurney microphone in hand he began singing
" I saw it in her smile" to wild the bunch, he got a loud
Standing ovation, to his and the fans delight .
Tonight the Champion enters as the underdog.I have
Been told they have the video ready waiting for it to
Become official. It's believed this is the champions night
To be defeated. He is out muscled, he is out gamed, he is
Injured and wrestling in pain  He can't be disqualified or counted out.
Past champions have called for him to forfeit the title and try to reclaim
It in a "rubber match" if you will, or use the series stipulation to have
him who would be champion to commit to a continuous seven series
Where the odds would be in his favored. His opponent can out wrestle him
On his best days and tonight, they say only a fool would go in
Not thinking about himself. 
" I saw it in her smile
The look upon her face"
These the lyrics we have heard all evening, we just wanna know if she can dance!

Premium Member Body Ails Yet Spirit Soars

the little engine that could, as they say. he's the tortoise that won the race, despite not coming in first, second, or third. he won hearts because he completed the long, grueling race. many naysayers thought he couldn't do it. they scoffed at his advanced age and bad knee. they thought he'd give in mid-race, but he defied insurmountable odds, shushing all doubters. they counted him out before the race even began, yet, here he is, at the other side of the ribbon! it's his first-ever marathon. hobbling at the finish line, yet he's in seventh heaven! take a bow, grandpa. well-earned!

Beloved David

From the beloved king and harp player
Whose name reigns as the ancient sword
That slayed the head of Goliath 

This name is sung across the wide world
A Hebrew jewel, the cornerstone of Europe
A crown of nobility and sword of the underdog 

King of the small kingdom that would birth the sun
Writer of psalms guided by wisdom herself 
Father of the most beloved white lamb

This name is sung across the wide world
A Hebrew jewel, the cornerstone of Europe
A crown of nobility and sword of the underdog

UnderDog

Underdog 

Have you ever been counted out 
Before you were counted in 
You felt like you took a lot of losses 
But in the end, the goal was to win 
You faced all kinds of obstacles and battles 
Shaken up like a rattle 
Like a horse with a saddle 
You ran til you could not run 
You cried up under the sun 
You had to do 
What had to be done 
Even when people talked about me 
And it did hurt 
I shook it off 
Made it work 
You gave it more than your all 
Stood back up when you did fall
Here comes the UNDERDOG!!!!

I will rise to the top
I will never stop 
I'll give all i got 
I'll risk at all 
Even when my backs against the wall
I am the Underdog 

Listen 
Hear me 
Greatness is in me 
I was created by thee 
Created by the greatest 
Uniquely made 
Face it 
I gravitated through life 
I made it 
All my things I went through 
I wouldn't trade it
It made me better 
Gave me strength to go on
I didn't realize my strength 
Didn't know I was that strong
My faith is tested 
The Lord is still blessing
Living life gives you all kinds of lessons 
You will rise above 
What they said you couldn't do
Believe in you 

I will rise to the top
I will never stop 
I'll give all i got 
I'll risk at all 
Even when my backs against the wall
I am the Underdog 

I'm the underdog 
They counted me out 
This time around 
I'm never taking off my crown ?? 
(Repeat 1x)

I will rise to the top
I will never stop 
I'll give all i got 
I'll risk at all 
Even when my backs against the wall
I am the Underdog 
(Repeat until chorus fades )

Victory Is Ours

His name is Peter and he has his cool name,

His name is Michael who has all wealth of fame.

They've met together in a one ball game,

Peter and Michael are awesomely good and the same.

 

They exchanged hot shots like things were getting cooler,

Half quarter was disappointing like they were almost loser.

Echo screams of crowd were raging like a fire burning.

Movements of flash were tremendously scorching.

 

Michael was so loud to get his victory,

Peter was an underdog to get things swiftly.

Game of chances can change someone’s ill fate,

Believe in Him and keep that good sincere faith.

 

Peter scored so high and he all got his record.

Michael gradually lowers his flag like a dropping sick sword.

Victory is ours because we own this game!

Peter gets well because he wasn't tamed.
