In the early eighties starting small

Is a worldwide ballet
A sensation unmatched to this day...

Born in Greenfield Park, 89 years ago
Across the St Lawrence River from Montreal
Feel nostalgic
Last day tragic
The end to an amazing (hopefully) 89 years

Winnipeg, Vancouver and old Montreal
Canada Mints, Inuits, and your lovely fall
Trudeau, Pierre and Justin
Quebecans I can trust in
with Canada Dry in hand, I toast you all!

An Odd Man In Montreal

There’s an odd man up in Montreal
Who’s young in the spring and old in the fall
In March—Let’er rip!
In September—Oh, my hip!
His mid-age crises he has in St. Paul

doors and roses
horses laugh
mystery abounds
leaves whisper
you guide your spirit
on the alphabet,
just like the first poet

An extraordinary winter we're having up here
A roller coaster we haven't experienced in years
As a young kid in Montreal
Happy days as a neanderthal
Snowed for days, piled up way past my rear...

To us rookies 'twas a kick
An extra special event that borealled our allises...

Growing up in Montreal, there were many great stars
Loud cheers for the Royals were heard from the local bars
The greatest of them all
Jackie Robinson stood tall
Jackie's memory remains always in our hearts...

Once lived an energetic lad in Montreal
He was rather large, I would say, seven feet tall
Tough as old shoe leather
He did not care whether
He played with varsity team basketball, at all.

This guy's been a baseball fanatic since I was ten
Jackie Robinson was my hero, first man of colour back then
History in the making
He was shaking' and baking'
Most teams weren't accepting but my Montreal Royals were... amen!...

A memory I'll NEVER forget, by crikey
Jackie stealing home, my hero almighty
Eleven at the time
Baseball's ultimate crime
Forever and always etched in my psyche

My Dad at the ripe old age of sixty-one
Rode a one gear bike farther than most have done
Proving at his age, though retired
Could ride over seven hundred miles
Needless to say, a hero of mine and everyone

Baseball is like a religion to me
Those long ago years still linger on
The Montreal Royals
The years of Jackie Robinson 
At Delorimier Stadium
In the east end Montreal
My dad and me out in the bleachers
Watching Jackie Robinson
Perform his magic
Running the bases like the wind
Hitting like a league leader
The magic of baseball...

Jennifer
Genuine, artistic and talented genius
Daughter of Dennis and Shirley
Lover of creativity, globetrotting and big dreams
Who feels the world is her oyster
Who fears breaking promises and not making deadlines
Who would like to see the end of poverty on earth
Resident of metropolitan Montreal, Canada

Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton and Klein*  

Wished to post poems on Soup that thought fine

They worked all night and all day

Taking care of what to say

Prayed their work the Soupers wouldn't decline!

The team stands atop the National League East.
This squad of players appears to be the new beast.
The number of accumulated wins says it all.
This has been the best start since they moved from Montreal.
With great seasons from Strasburg, Werth, and the other boys,
the Washington fans will be experiencing great joys.
I know it’s still early, and I may be jumping the gun,
but if this continues, the Nats may have it all won.

Doris Annie had a dream
It was crisp, and clear to her
Others thought it was way off stream
Plausibility to them did not occur

I am on a quest to find reindeer
with yellow antlers she said to all
they thought this weird, strange and queer
until she brought home two, straight and tall.

where did you find them? I asked so brave.
They were in Montreal, near an elf’s middle cave.
Now the naysayers are quiet, and we all believe.
Because she has them living at her farm in Sheave....

Nadia Comaneci 
Gymnastic Queen
Olympic starlet
Romania's dream
 
Montreal summer
As this young girl bloomed
Three Gold Medals
Young boys swooned
 
Moscow 1980
Another two Golds won
For this Romanian girl
The darling one
 
America bound via Montreal
This young gymnast stool so tall
Her dance routines, amazing and hip
From her somersaults, to her back flips
 
She was one of my idols
When i was in my teens
Her Perfect 10
Has to be seen
 
" Dedicated to Nadia Comaneci "...
