It Happened On a Rainy Night

Leaving no gap for air slightly,
Cuddled the opponent so tightly.
Trying to win each other’s body,	
Entered their love’s holy samadhi!

Lies That Work

In sales, the surest way to die 
       Tell your client a great big lie

    In politics, tell a huge whopper
       You opponent may well top her

Mick was a boxer adept at upper cuts
He won many a contest using such.
But there came a night
He gave up the fight
When his opponent used upper nuts.

Race Beginning Than Winning

Always knee from very beginning,       
Each race run I would be winning;
Grades be better;
Wear letter sweater;
Wrestling, my opponent pinning.

Slick Limerick

The Highlander known as James Fraser
In his day he was called the eraser
When he played eight ball
Many an opponent did fall
If only they gave out a green blazer

My Favorite Sport

My favorite sport is that of football
Now, I am an American if you do recall
So please understand
We can use our hands
And not get a red card if our opponent should fall

Indignation

Always be certain --
Don’t expect forgiveness
Given harmful indignation
Just keep laughing
My noble opponent
Particularly quarrelsome
Ribaldry seems to unleash
Very worrisome x-rays,
You zygote!

Trump Card

In a card game we welcome a trump. With a trump an opponent we stump. But we’re not playing cards, and the earth lies in shards. Time to carry our Trump to the dump.

Once, Words Mattered

    As the candidate yammered on 
     His opponent stood his ground

        When the first ran out of time
        In a flash the second chimed ~

    “I’d always thought a man’s word was his bond”

Capitalism

Capitalism if you know not
is a ping pong game
feet must move very fast
hands on clear  target
ball bounced back quick
eyes on opponent’s  actions 
joy when opponent faults
take it all when foe collapses

Leftist



Leftist warn of their opponent doing 
what they are now doing.

Their undoing?
They forgot that he was already a President and
none of that happened.

They will keep on choosing for you,
(if you don't, mind)
