Premium Member Great Tiny Apple

Great tiny apple 
Consequence of branches untrimmed 
Will anyone bother to learn 
That you are
Defiantly delicious?

Underdog had his sweet Polly. 
The Canadian Mounty had his Nell.
Edgar Allan Poe was jolly
till Annabel Lee went to Hell.

Premium Member I Remember Underdog

I remember Underdog and Mighty Mouse; crime fighting heroes of my childhood. Every week, they’d save the world from evil characters. Where would I be if they hadn’t?

If You Meet a Fierce Dog

if you meet a fierce dog,
watch your steps.
if you meet a top dog,
watch your interests.
if you meet an underdog,
watch your mouth.
if you meet a puppy,	
watch your heart.
For, a dog is a dog.

.discovering Whats Already Been Uncoverd.

I stand for the underdog.
But standing alone is nothing 
without a voice.
you can stand taller than Rockies,
or smaller than the insects that inhabit
them.
But you wont be heard without a voice.


only seen.

standing up for the underdog
trusting others to give their best
responsible ethics
expecting the good from everyone
noting optimistic attitudes
giving people many chances
teaching kindness and respect
helping humanity with humility

Premium Member David Vs Goliath

david
            valiant, indomitable 
  conquering, ennobling, lauding
underdog, hero, behemoth, villain
   hulking, bestriding, oversizing 
              massive, monster 
                        goliath

Underdog

Our  game show host,
in negative, 
teeth bleaching.
papering the cracks,
with good lighting,
and bad jokes,
We
never
see 
you 
coming.

Fluffed before countdown
but you never came,
your climax is waiting,
any minute now
there is no edit.

The Underdog

Like a beacon shining with eternal bliss
The victorious underdog will always exist
As the true diehard David and Goliath fan
Resourceful as the incredible shrinking man
Motivated by lack of respect and esteem
Never saying die and fulfilling the dream

Premium Member Knee Replacement

you said I was a wuss; 

you said I couldn’t take it.

You said I’d make a fuss; 

you said I wouldn’t make it.

what you said did not make sense; 

you didn’t think I had the guts;

now you’ll  feel the difference; 

with my new knee in your nuts.

Sympathy

Sympathy
opens my heart
when sensibleness
warns me to keep it shut.
There's danger lurking
in your gaping mouth.
Sweet words soon turn sour.
I risk getting hurt,
sympathy driving me
to rescue, to fix
the underdog,
though I know 
you want to be loved,
not pitied.

Premium Member Sometimes Again

Sometimes,
You Win
Because 
YOU'RE NOT
The Underdog...

Expected, Because
You Are Superior,
Not As A Show,
No "Showboat,"
Nothing...

And That’s Good.

Expected.

Maybe...

Suspense Is Suspected,
It Makes The Best Show.

Which Is GOOD.

A Statue of Liberty stands despite growing pains
Morning welcomes bird feces and political gain
Every heart who seeks new start new chance
Rarely knows the ills of the underdog dance
Is it still the land of the free
Can you become rich and famous and have peace
Are you willing to sacrifice your beliefs for dreams

True Knight Could you support the underdog, Could you take the poor mans part, Knight errant could you fight Magog, Rip out his demons heart. And when the wrong of evil done You see the devils part To give your life to overcome Be valiant cleave the path? Don Johnson For our Knights in Afghanistan....

Dogs Playing Poker

If lighting was glory I be the chief to deliver the hammer impeach,
Take Ironic for animal instinct a card of hand for gamble we got a solution,
If to read a play or need a trade of hand I would be left for talented,
If a dog has a duplication and every dog has it’s day,
Put a a underdog in a suit and tie to save the day.

Backyard Maul

This was final game of the year for the Pittsburgh Panthers, our team
Was to be a fight between bitter rivals, though one would fall
Our rival, The Mountaineers, had their best season, going to a dream
Both fought for glory, with determination at the Backyard Brawl,
Pittsburgh, the underdog, crushed dreams, at that Backyard Maul.

Premium Member She Came In As An Overdog

She was supposed to be the office underdog.
She had less experience than the rest of us.
Less credentials than the mail opener.
No one told her she was not supposed to come in 
acting like the overdog.
She strutted, bragged, barked, demanded.
Correcting the rest of us.
Showing off knowledge that was minimal.
She did not last the week.

Premium Member A Champion

She was a champion
A warrior 
A fighter for the underdog
Queen advocate
We were in awe of her

She would jump into the fray
And fight battles 
Before the rest of us 
realized they were battles

She took on the wrong combatant
And wound up in the morgue
But not before she impressed us all
And helped us become the assertive women we are supposed to be.
