bob frenetically trousered his would . was always a quitter !
(Weekly Magnetic Poetry Challenge • August 10–16, 2026)
Every day I try something new
And hope my plans don't go askew;
Because of this horrible quitting through and through
Thought I'd start knitting
But never thought of committing;
The name 'quitter' seems fitting.
I'll play Badminton for a day
But when it gets hard I'd rather not stay;
In this arena of players who paved their way.
They weren't like me,
Who has a procrastination guarantee;
When the game got tough, they didn't flee.
Thousands of things I said I'd do
That I tried to eschew;
And that's why, they're way overdue.
an eat sweets quitter
her teeth shine and do glitter
of our baby sitter
hope my teeth will stay
never leave or go astray
do brush every day
teeth were hard to bare
cavities were here and there
should brush them with care
Have dental appointment today.
Sweet Sally Sue was not a quitter
She was so much stronger and fitter
Working from dawn to dusk
Despite she smelled of musk
She left the whole world all aglitter

not using liter
about my cat I am bitter
should be a quitter
Bittter Litter Quitter
He had been known as being bitter,
After they looked at all of the litter;
Loosely laying;
Some straying;
Started a rage caller Litter Quitter.

I am now Number 4.
He did not teach me much,
he had rather take me out to lunch.
Be honest all your days, that was what he would say.
Everyday work hard, with all of your heart.
A winner never quits,
even if it is the pits.
A quitter never wins, they get it on the chin.
This great man did not teach me much,
yet in reality he taught me a bunch.
Dad what a great name, you should be in the hall of fame.

I may fall down trying to live out my destiny
but one thing I will be never known as
is being a quitter
No matter how long it takes
No matter how many heart breaks
Whatever it takes to get where
I’m going I will let that attitude
of I can do to get me through
Though the mountains are high
And life may have many lows
Even when life throws me blow after, blow
I will get up and continue forward
for I know I’m no quitter
And each step I take my efforts will show
in the appearance in how you see me grow
Bitter Quitter
A bitter quitter
Which is what many have been
Also deep in doubt.

I was told to "Pack it in."
"No!" I am not a quitter.
I never give up until I win.

don't be a
QUITTER
At my surprise,I've discovered
that in the depth
of this doubt:
there's an intense liking
that keeps me wondering
whether or not
to bring it out
with an incredible shout!
I wouldn't turn
a good thing down
and proclaim this lover
is not a quitter:
when an honest face
strikes me with joy and excitement,
I don't have the simplest
reason to pretend or not
to have heard that mysterious name
in some other place!
Anxious to find out
how many words or sounds
make up that memorable sentence
that can't hold down my obstinence
from the purest desire pounding inside
this fearful chest...
hiding the most truthful heart!
Would I deny myself the joy
of being indulgent
and disclaim that this lover
is not a quitter
to those who have more doubts
than an ounce of pity?
Envious eyes laid on me...
can't change or threat anything
I offer with honesty;
nothing can destroy this ego,
it is my glorious destiny to give love
and make a woman's heart sing!
A quitter you call me because,
while picking up the pieces
of my dreams, I pause
to wipe away my tears--
but I'll bear the bitter years,
and I'll play the game,
though I may lose, forever.
A loser I may be--a quitter, never.
