Best Disappointed Poems

Not all my hits are home runs,
many of them miss the bat;
specators respond with boos...
right there I expect to lose,
and getting angry, I toss my cap....

Oft' I've pondered if when God peers down upon this His own Creation,
And sees this blue marble heading for calamity with each day's rotation,
That He must shake His head and weep at the chaos humanity hath wrought,
Wondering why folks can't abide by The Golden Rule...

Disappointed


Madam Chair, could we please get to the point
Let’s decide today which group we will appoint

Too much effort and time has already been spent
Already deep in our budget there is a major dent

Last year unanimously, Browns’ were appointed
This year we would like another company instead

Disappointed Tina

Tina was  mad, 
 
thought  she gotten a lad	

that would fulfill her dreams

 turning whispers into screams   

First night in bed under the spread

there was nothing there to grab

That’s when mean Tina kicked Fred out of bed

Reincarnated Rozetta was very angry with her super angel team for saddling her with ChimChang Man again.
They had spent the last two lifetimes together, once as squirrels, and now as a cat couple, him fat, her relatively thin.
ChimChangMan wanted to have a new litter of...

I'm disappointed not because am hungry
but it's the world that tortures me.
I say am disappointed not because am sick
but it's my life that needs care every time.
I'm disappointed again not because i will die
but it's those who hate me everyday.
I'm disappointed a lot not because...

How all the children loved their last teacher.
First day her feast.
Could not clap
and give
gifts.
For
there now
was someone
they did not know.
A brand new teacher had arrived for school.

Disappointed here and there,
Disappointed as I walk,
This line of my life,
I am tired of disappointed,
Confused not knowing who to trust?
And the people who I put all my effort to,
They disappoint me the most.
Ever ask someone for help,
And they walk out the moment,
That you most need...

You never call the house is a mess, your always gone and I am a wreck.
Where did you go, why did you leave?
Our children are here but now only have me.
I loved you so much and stayed faithful to you, but you deceived me and...

I should be watching Rafa
In my Rafa hat and shirt,
But Wimbledon is at a loss
Because Nadal is hurt.

He won the quarterfinals
With an injury to cause
Some pain when he was serving
And it seems that gave him pause.

So he withdrew and all his fans,
Of course including me,
Are...

They will not be disappointed
That dream of paradise on high
So sure of  heaven above
When they die
But if there is no heaven
No second life to come
They will not care
They cannot care
There is no care
They will be gone
A rotting husk
Some scattered dust
Some whitening bones

Either way, they...

Haley Mills played Pollyanna
We kids thought she was American
We claimed her as one of our own.
When she got older she began using her British accent.
And we could neither understand her
or love her half as much,
so disappointed were we.
Anyway, I was.
I do not even speak British...

Happiness is left to be defined by your ownself
As you know yourself better than anyone else
As you're special and unique
Moreover one man's meat may be another man's  poison
But don't ask for too much 
So that you won't always be disappointed 
As the world is...
