#1 Think of Nantucket rhymes.

There once was a guy
who was king.
He threw wild parties,
yeah,
he liked to swing.
He invited his knight.
Who cried
once
with delight.
Got sent him home
with his thing in a sling.

 

#1 The King he liked to party, The way Kings often do, When it came to women, He always wanted two. And the Knight it seems, thought he would take a chance, by coming to the party, with his droopy lance, You see, the King was known for his parties, by the Falls of Niagra, and his golden candy dish, filled with blue Viagra!!!...........................John

 

This is Great, I knew we had the poets here. Great Work People. Please Keep them coming. Cheryl

 

LOL....what the heck was the name of the guy who sang "Dang Me"? Escapes me at the moment.

 

This is for #2

Lady,
For sixty-five years, your maternal countenance
Encouraged the Infant of the World,
The United States of America,
And saw it grow to hold its own.

Lady,
What times you have helped us through,
Sacrificing yourself for the poor and rich alike.
What adventures your sealed lips hold!
Your long, beauteous locks do not betray.

Lady,
They took you from us too soon.
Like tapping a cask of red wine
Hardly set to ferment,
Your cessation was a sour event.

My Lady,
We drink to you now
Wearing your Mona Lisa smile;
For though this aged Merlot brings merriment,
Grace is bestowed by your company.


It's a beautiful coin and I enjoyed writing for it! Good luck to everyone!

Thankyou Cheryl....

 

For an evil emperor , a pretty good poem .
rzage

 

Morgan was such a philanderer,
With many a pocket he'd flirt.
But times there were when he was 'dropped',
And would spend his time in the dirt.

Liberty was such a shiny soul,
So many mens eyes she drew.
And even when Morgan was present,
She was no shrinking shrew.

She loved him with a burning fire,
Until that love was spent.
He thought she wasn't worth a dime,
She thought he was heaven 'cent'

Is that romantic or not I ask myself.

 

anytime I listen to country music alot. cheryl

 

All I can say is MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. Nice cheryl

 

Oh King 'tis not for you to run,
Around with every dame you see.
Your reputation now so bad,
For one we know as royalty.

You should be at home with the queen,
Your place when all is said and done.
Instead you put yourself about,
Going wild and having fun.

Sir Knight your King is a disgrace,
For such lifestyle can you dissuade?
He should not put himself about,
And sleep with every servant maid.

"Alas" replied the noble Knight,
Tis good our King is cock-a hoop.
For when I choose to use my lance,
All it can do is droop!!!!

 

Cheryl, when are you going to decide a winner?

 

The contest will end on Nov. 20th. This will allow everyone to enter. I want your best poetry you can write. Cheryl

#3 friendship and cointalk

Oh cointalk
what you mean to me
The laughs we share
the things we see

In times of rough
and days of blue
We stick together
and see it through

some that live
right down the street
Some far away
but here we meet

your my best friend
collectively
It's all I need
just you and me

I think of you
throughout the day
can't wait until
there's time to play

I hope you never go away

even after I have past
time is no more
at home at last

cherishing memories that never end
from great abyss my heart I'll send
..And I'll smile..
As I wander
through the sky
with a friend

Cointalk

what do you mean to me?
'Tis but one word.

Family

For many years I have collected,
All manner of wonderful things.
Buying Antiques and collectibles,
Coins, pens, chains,watches and rings.

I put them away in boxes,
Hidden from public view.
But now much older and wiser,
I've decided what I must do.

I found that I have an interest,
In coins from all parts of this earth.
So I want to accumulate knowledge,
And find out what they are worth.

I recently signed up to 'Coin Talk'
And found certain expertise.
I read up the threads now daily,
Asking questions if I please.

The people here all seem friendly,
And ready to help me to learn.
My grade is quite 'low' at the present,
But I'll be 'very fine' in my turn.
