Short Handicaps Poems

Road Runner escaped the cleverest traps
Because he had no known handicaps
Outwitted, outsmarted at every turn,
His nemesis would sigh, doing a slow burn.

Wile E. Coyote was determined to destroy
Road Runner by using every available ploy,
But the tricky bird was ever so clever
Always escaping by pulling the lever.

Study what God has made known;
ponder His Word, our mainstay.
Ready in your exchange zone
pass the baton, be alert and pray. 

Plan for success in life’s race; 
contend, despite handicaps    
Relay God’s love and God’s grace,
leave no room for generation gaps.

I have a gross handicap:
While sleeping retains my cap,
As I read feet in shoes tap
And easily a work “Crap!”

…And spoiled kids’ knuckles rap;
During sermon daring a nap,
Bathsheba survey her lap;
For my trips shun the best map…

Can I crush my handicap?
Enough to energy sap:
Eccentric wings stop their flap
While Handicap fills some gap…

But die could most handicaps:
As easy as rats in traps;
Sure, a cop and his hard slaps
Orders for water to start laps....

We wear shoes 
To protect our feet
Have to please them 
With the right size
To keep healthy 
To be comfortable
Go all the ways to please them
They will in return 
Walk faster 
With more stable steps
With more beautiful posture
Moreover some people may
Go further to please eyes
Hiding ugliness and handicaps
Building confidence 
Showing off
Capturing admiration
And finally slaved their own selves
Hurting their feet
Forgetting to please 
Their own hearts
Their inner souls...

No one can go without handphones
If he doesn't possess one 
He can borrow one
The world will become smaller and more attainable
Hearts become closer 
Friendships become more flourishing
Family bond becomes stronger
Informations become more attainable
But handphone still has its handicaps
No connection to the souls 
No connection to the other world 
No connection to God
You still have to give yourself time to reach 
Your own heart and soul
Your memories of the past
God's teaching...
