Short Hands Down Poems

The wife kicked me out of my house
Saying I'm no longer her spouse
Its all for the best
Now I'm with the rest
Who can put both hands down her blouse!...

love’s gravity
overcomes raised fists
hands down

Good news always wins hands down
Bad news won't stand a chance with frowns
Smiles and giggles
Hugs and wiggles
With mushy kisses and nudity thrown in...

Silliness always wins hands down
We need more humor, enter the clown
My name is Happy Jack
Laugh while taking a nap
Naps are essential, or in giggles I'll drown...

the best slight of hand hands down ever seen
but a magician is tragic
for without magic
is only now known as ian...

Everybody spoke from town to town

That he had the greatest smile hands down 

Till his big brother Keith

Knocked out all his front teeth

Now he greets all in town with a frown...

Smiles of joy always win hands down
The main ingredient for combatting a frown
Simple and yet
Not everyone gets
This simple solution to all negativity

When writing poetry, humour wins hands down
But not at a funeral, causes lotsa nasty frowns
So be careful what you choose 
Like purple ballet shoes
And being dressed in a pretty pink gown...

Hands down, the sleeper
Sits on a seclusive seat of hope:

Aging lips survey a feast 
With disdain, and crust at the 
Hair peach crying out for barber Enamel
Atop its push-up chair of
Amethyst and scarlet....

Writing limericks, humour wins hands down
But not at funerals, they cause lotsa nasty frowns
So be careful what you choose
Like purple ballet shoes
Or being dressed in a stunning pretty pink gown...

His team’s chances he hoped to enhance -
So a cricket player took a chance
He’s caught ball tampering
Such disgrace it did bring
He got snapped with his hands down his pants!

hands down
twice the man
soft spoken
steady on
quiet purpose
hard working
fun loving
tall and kind
generous
beautiful hands
dark hair 
wise beyond his years
never give up
don't worry
time will tell
always come home....

Time, 
Rushed,
Please stop,
Demanding,
The pleasure of fun
Seconds should be more than 60

*******************************

Hands,
up,
Hands down,
Let's get dance,
Thrilled on the dance floor
Melt on urge,  last on steps, show time!...

Curly locks, red cheeks,
a warm, cheeky smile.
Wide-cast, dreamy eyes,
sticky hands down sides.
Dungaree, scraped thighs,
of a girl aged five.

I run my hands down your silk shoulders
till our hands are in each others.
As our bodies lightly touch,
these lips can only kiss.
I whisper softly
my only words,
I love you
always
Rose.

Do you stand up for the flag
Flying fluttering in the breeze
It doesn’t look half bad
It may be old fashioned if you please

But my father went to war
And beat them hands down
He knew what was the score
So I will stand up with pride so sound.

He neatly won the race hands down.
It was the gelding's break maiden.
He secured the coveted crown.
He neatly won the race hands down.
Triumphant smile, no frown. No frown!
Both horse and jockey wreath-laden!
He neatly won the race hands down.
It was the gelding's break maiden....

Attired in black and red tonight 
The way you sang was out of sight
Head and shoulders above the rest
Hands down you'll always be the best
The reasons why are clear to me
And to anyone with ears to see
But if they're not here's one that suits
Just s-p-e-c-t-a-c-u-l-a-r in snakeskin boots...

Having received the American History Award in high school in 1981 I can honestly say one needs to know only 3 things to win it hands down. these are: It stinks, it still stinks, and it will probably continue to stink. Just live your life the best you can and try to love life and people as much as you can. Oh well....

My heart is beating, though it is broken 
my lungs are seeping & my eyes are crying blood
as i hold my head in my hands down on my knees 
i am lost in alice's wonderland
is it a dream, how could this be, i am lost beneath my own grief
as this fairytale swollows me into the timeless universe i see what has become of me...Broken!...

Fourth-grader, Leander had his hands down his pants.
Sitting on the rug, doing what people do but usually, in their sleep.
His young teacher said, "“Leander, please put your hands in the air!”
He said “I have to itch my junk.”
I smiled when she told me this. “What did you say?”
“I didn’t say anything. I don’t have junk, so I kept quiet.”...

Matt asks me how you are
and I’m reminded of a life I almost lived:
the one where I’d know the answer. 

Here she comes gliding back. 
She sits on my chest,
runs her hands down my throat.
Her fist white, my dead fish tongue greying 
with an unutterable apology. 

I lean into her grip. I don’t 
know how to set myself free in the end....

Remember the recipes you gave to me?
Of dreams and hopes and reveries?
Of April orchards by the sea?
Red apples under the harvest moon
June bugs on petals of sunflower sisters
Bending together in the whispering breeze
leafy arms,prickly kisses
Lady bugs flying home?
     I need you more than ever
don't  lay your hands down  now
Hold them out to me....

Three performers enter the room.

Two children.

One adult.

The children stand like two scarecrows in a rice field.

The adult takes a can and sprays the children;

careful not to miss a spot.

The children put their hands down and prepare to exit,

The adult whispers,

“they’re everywhere”.

Babe I love it when we roll around in my bed
The taste of your lips, the taste of you, has me hypnotized
When you run your hands down my back, I almost paralyze
I adore the way you make me feel, and when you do what you do my eyes roll back in ecstacy
Holding back my passion, oh I feel so weak once I release
The way you look at me in desire oh you please my fire
I love you sugar...
