Quitters Never Win

While daydreaming, out of the loop,
I was caught in a long beaked scoop
Go with the flow
He doesn’t know
I’ll exit when he takes a poop

Quitters Never Win

Quit while you are ahead
That's a phrase most winners dread
Keep going if you want to win
To give up now would be a sin
If you are in it to win it, enough said

No More Penalties

Once a coin in Tullamore 

was to decide the final score

the tosser threw high

the evening came nigh

no quitters they called it a draw

His Phone Numbers

Dialing her unfaithful spouse’ numbers shows she ain’t one of the quitters,
But over the phone heard, “Sorry, the numbers you just dialed were letters”.

Queens of Quasi - Mar 18

The quivering quitters, quaking and quacking
In quite a quizzing quagmire, quietly
Quash their qualms. The ***** quest they have acquired,
Is a quandry of quantum quantity.

American Music

American Bandstand caused dance explosions
fearful grandparents held investigations
jailed killers loved music 
nothing on plastic
quitters reverse strategies
underlining victories
wishing X 
youngsters’ zest

Quitters Never Win

A frog fell in love with a stork shrewd
Suggesting a kiss she wooed her food
Trying to swallow him, how rude!
The frog rung her neck, eyes protrude
He hopped on out, limping like a dude!

Knights of Long Knives

Night of long knives

Twitter is going nuclear.
PC rules.

Serene Putin
Camara's smile at him
He winks.

Aleppo is ruined
Captive civilians killed
Rebels have gone.

Mosul and ISIS
Iraqi army of quitters 
Behind sand dunes quiver

So Hoarse

That  poor  Heron  can't  sing  a  note.
 
The  dawn-chorus  laugh  and  they  gloat.

He  won't  give-up  or  quit

But  the  silly old  git

Is  just  hoarse  with  a frog  in  his  throat.

Bird Brain

Bird Brain

Now here is a strange pair of folk
If one swallows, the other croaks
Looks quite a tussle 
Bird wants to guzzle 
But the bullfrog hangs on, says nope

I Won'T Try Again I Quit

I’m done I say, I’m mad and sad.
The ones that won were rather bad
I won’t try again
Sponsor rigged the win
I always knew he was a cad

Achieving Success

Two men were thrown into separate pits
But one was wise enough to use his wits
He built stairs to climb free
And then decreed with glee,
"A winner is the one who never quits!"

Quitters Never Win

On the football field young Davy hurt his knee
Lots of excruciating pain, yes-sir-ee,
He is never a quitter
Says he is never fitter
Continuing playing to win is the key.

Platos Allegory of the Cave

Fear of freedom, blue skies now seem grey 
Phlegmatic pessimism, own hand stays
Whilst cheerful maverick
Fearless to try new tricks
Makes escape to freedom, simple play

Spitters Are Quitters

Always salty and usually bitter
help encourage the spitter —
still better than the wonts
and those dreaded donts —
saved by the tolerable quitter.

Win Or Not, Face No Defeat

No chicken-egg lore this— not a bit—
Quitters win, nor ever winners quit,
If it fails to convince,
You got to go to Vince,
Win or not in life, face no defeat.

Way To Win

This optimist man falls in pit unseen
To come out of dire trouble he is keen
He doesn’t sit lost in despair
Scrapes stairs to reach the free air
Knows trying hard is the sole way to win.

Little Sam

Little Sam wanted to learn ride a bike
     So he could go riding with is friend Mike
                  He would often fall
               And he’d sometime bawl
    When he did learn, told pal to take a hike

Deceitful Duck and Funny Frog

There was a long beaked deceitful duck
caught a frog from a pond with a pluck
funny frog was very tough
wished to give a fight enough
held arms round its neck and crushed to buck.

Oh Heck

Oh Heck
There's a frog stuck inside my beak, oh heck And the rascal's has his hands round my neck The frog is no quitter Should've been my dinner I'm now fast becoming a strangled wreck.

A Stroke of Stork

half in, half out ,frog held between her beak,
wily old stork ate frogs like they were steak!
he fought back hard, slimy fellow,
he changed colour green to yellow,
She spat him out, yuk! yuk!! said “what a cheek!!”
