English composer the talented Ruth Gipps
excelled in her musicianship
Her progidious polyr-ability
produced many a tune-filled symphony
Lizzie performed many tricks,
She excelled at doing the splits,
One day she made the audience gasp
When she split herself in half.
Now Lizzie's act is in two bits
Trump Had Assured Us
Trump assured us that he was a squire,
Who had excelled at producing an empire;
Somewhat later,
Being dictator;
President did become his biggest desire.

The Squid Eating Contest
By
Tom Wright
There was a young man from Madrid
Who excelled at most all that he did.
But in a contest for eating,
While others were seating,
He choked to death chewing a squid.
Sky was limit,
They said,
He had excelled all along,
And made them said that,
He kept on climbing,
They still said that,
For him sky was the limit,
He zoomed in his career,
And became an astronaut,
And now for him even the sky was not the limit.
This year’s been great.
We’ve had much to consume,
On our brain’s plate.
We may have made some,
Mistakes.
But we’ve learned from them,
As well.
We overall have excelled.
We used our thinking
And writing implements.
Oh my what a good year this has been.
wrote 1-31-10
Revolutionary insight excelled
for forty days and forty nights.
Noah discovered what rain was;
Moses received God’s ten laws twice.
Josh and Caleb searched out the land;
Jesus triumphed o'er Satan's tests.
Goliath’s grand boasting accrued;
Elijah travelled in anguish.
Nobody has ever won and excelled
without considering taking risks twice
be afraid of tomorrow and miss out on glory?
I went the wrong path without tossing a single dice,
without consulting that old tarot reader who compromised,
but that long path had only stones and no dreams for a little boy.
Sergeant Schmo was chef in an Army mess.
He excelled in concocting S.O.S.,
But troops preferred M.R.E.s,
They were very hard to please!
Don't know what S.O.S. is? Take a guess!
(P.S.: Ask a veteran nearest you what S.O.S. is - the answer will astound you!)
Mary skipped to a different beat
You could see it in her funny feet
One shoe off, the other on
One sock green, the other brown...
She did her homework in the john
TV, computer, and radio on
Excelled in school at irrelevant classes ~
Shining shoes of cloth and threshing molasses
I walk alone on this desolate beach. There are no accolades echoing in my
head. I am a wasted shell that has excelled in the art of failure. My chemical
companions, and vanishing memories wade through the low- tide waves. I
have built many castles in this sand. But I, not the sea, have destroyed them all.
God Pleiades
Goodness in abundance
Generous without fault
Grandiose by nature
Greatness never excelled
Galactic Sovereign
Gladness in the heavens
Gavel in hand judges.
2nd attempt at a Pleiades it's difficult but I enjoy it, hope you do too.

They gave birth
to a beautiful baby
and left him alone
only a dog to play with
the dog was happy
to have a humble friend
and it taught him how to bite
yes, he excelled in the skill
biting without sparing
biting without mercy
parents wept and exiled child
but were indicted by society
for false accusation
He is slated as a loser, why?!
By whose standards is that measured by?
By what ambitions he ought to abide?
Is there a normative success guide?
They have excelled but wait a minute -
Their gain is not his loss or is it?
No grace in how much one can consume,
Humble and true is human heirloom.

I had excelled in high school exams, so
Was expecting from parents a prize;
But I knew they wouldn't let me know,
As they would want to give a surprise.
I woke up to a bright day these summer holidays,
Looking at a pearl necklace on my table I was glad;
And what made it the greatest holiday gift was
That it was with love from mom and dad.
Such little fingers type so slow
I watch along as when he goes
Reports for typing, research too
He’ll get it done, that’s what he’ll do
But, even if it takes all week
He’ll find all answers he so seeks
As 4th grade can be hard enough
He won’t give up on schoolwork stuff
He likes to know he finished well
With a smile he reads, knowing he excelled
the
melodic chords
at finger tips
drift
back and forth
into a song
'ere long-
the
vivid images
in a painter's eye
transformed,
splash
upon canvas-
the
nouns,adjectives
memorable verbs
from
poetic ears
writ large,then
sweet voices,heard
(DEDICATED TO JERRY REED WHO DIED SEPTEMBER 1, 2008.)
He starred in the Smokey and the bandit films and in the Waterboy as well.
When it came to acting and singing, this man excelled.
It was plain to see that he was a country boy.
He's dead now but he brought people lots of joy.
He made millions of people laugh and now he's making them cry.
When it comes to such a great man, it's hard to say goodbye.
I became the best poet
Greatest one in the paper
The school loved my work a lot
I was the only entrant
Would that put me down
Drawback illusion
No I excelled more
I kicked butt throughout
I was number one in school
Writing hungry poetry
Though superior I seemed
I am exaggerated

An itinerant field hand named Boyd
Excelled at a job that he really enjoyed.
But the skills he used when in close quarters
With farmers, wives, and sons, and daughters
Were the principal ones that kept Boyd employed.
Now he had a twin brother named Floyd
Whose sexual bent oftentimes annoyed Boyd.
But he forgave his bro's trespasses,
'cause since he much preferred the lasses,
Boyd was glad when dads and lads toyed with Floyd.
Powdered wig was musty
Curls petrified and crusty
Mothballs smell much better
Especially in August weather.
George put it on his head anyway
Not wanting to disappoint his mother today
Rode on the float and waved to the crowd
Showing out with a hoppy dance, proudly and loud
That’s George Washington! His parents yelled.
Knowing full well that he always excelled.
Helicopter Mom and Motorcycle dad.
Still they raised a truly wonderful lad.
You starred in a British sitcom called Father Ted.
It is extremely sad because now you are dead.
You were successful and things were going great.
But then a tragedy occurred when you died in 1998.
You were taken far too soon, you were only forty-five.
The world would be a better place if you had survived.
You excelled at acting and you were a teacher too.
You were an awesome Irish man and people loved you.
(DEDICATED TO DERMOT MORGAN WHO DIED FEBRUARY 28, 1998.)
I know you're ready, time has stopped for you..
When you were unsure of what path to take
He had you hidden away in purgatory..
To prepare you for a time like this.
Gone is the time when doubt and fear has you
asking why.
God knows you're ready he has started time for you..
Given you self confidence to trek your journey.
You excelled while you were in preparation
He has given you strength for this time
So stand up, spread your wings, it's time for
you to fly.
Dear Rico your Lim’s were one of a kind
In them you definitely spoke your mind
Your passing has me in tears
You brought us a-lot of cheers
Meeting you here was a treasured find
* I haven’t been that active on the Soup. I just found out “ our” dear friend and poet Rico has passed. We never met in person, but I truly feel like I lost a friend. I’m heartbroken and in tears. This my tribute to him in the form he excelled in.

W as there ever a player so hated
I n the prime of a great career
L ooked on as the Devil Incarnate
T ormented by boos and by jeers
T he man set all kinds of records
H e excelled at whatever he tried
E gged on by a fierce, wounded pride
S cored one-hundred points in a game
T fans hissed at him all the same
I f he had to do it over again
L ord Have Mercy, he'd have scored 110!
T hough he'd have traded every point for one friend
