HOLY HOOPS
HOLY HOOPS In the court of Hades, the spirits wailed, Satan's clutches seemed to have prevailed. But then descended Jesus, bold and true, With a ball in hand, signifying victory for me & you, And with an ordained mission to pursue.5 He dribbled through the chambers dark and grim, With the world's weight weighing on Him, His presence causing hellish lights...

Now I’m not a guy likes to dunk, But this overseas backboard is junk. For the costs I’ve incurred, I should beat Larry Byrd, Or hit a three-pointer, I’d thunk. See, the front of the rim always droops, And that makes it hard to play hoops. Plus, the pole is too short; it provides little sport unless you’re a dwarf with the stoops. But take...

Yo-yo's and hula hoops We all ate our Campbell Soup Down our stairs went Mr. Slinky For dessert, Hostess Twinkies Lucky guys rode ten-speed racers Drank Seven-up with Kool-Aid Chasers After school, the Mickey Mouse Club With TV dinners for our grub The '50's seem so innocent now Can we get them back...

bathtubs have them and some fingers but not the gardening ones around the rosie? sure I know it But you will never find one in my nose Do I look like a bull? Hoops is another word describing them But then you think of rim shots embarrassing basketball players...

Premium Member I Want My Hoops
For all of my life, one thing’s remained clear, “Corona” meant lime juice, and Mexican beer! Or jewel studded crowns, worn for mere show, By Royals of pedigree--a priceless Chapeau. But one thing’s escaped me, at least until now, “Corona” the VIRUS, threatens survival somehow; Spread by the touch, a cough, or a sneeze, Causing sickness and death, in varying degrees. So how...

Bridge requires a square table With a player on each side. Exchange your greenback dollars For slot machine quarters to provide. A basketball team that hoops it up well May make March Madness semis for a spell. Pro golfers hit the greens in two pairs Driving and putting to crowds gaping stares. Mom and pop and two wee tots All enjoying fresh pop tarts. Brilliant...

Scoop Hoops of Tomorrow
Look beyond hooks of today to books of tomorrow Anticipate rewards diligence brings Shunt aside the brunt of sorrow in a row Disregard strings fastened to risible rings. Anticipate rewards diligence brings Participate in activities that foresee the future Disregard strings fastened to risible rings Regard in a high perspective a conducive culture. Participate in activities that foresee the future Savour flavours...

Jumping Over Hoops
Reading contest requirements which make me jump over hoops, shakes my head until it droops, discourages me from submitting , rather than writing I end up spitting, it is a game of utter frustration as my psyche goes through deflation, and my muse hits a ten-foot tall brick wall, screaming all the way because of the fall. 1/31/18...

Jumping Through the Hoops of Life
Distortion of self-made reality Creation of un-lived memories Sanctifying of painless fantasy One day the truth may come out Till then the snakes are about They will schmooze you They might placate you They probably will instil hope in you All in all they will manipulate you What will become of you? A new you? It is likely to be a different man in the mirror Who...
