at friend’s after dinner
watch contest at the Gabba
Australia chase India’s score
listen to commentators’ blabber
Brett Lee bags five wickets
in limited overs match
Indian fast bowlers attack
Ponting falls to catch
Gilchrist out, then Sharma
smashes Hopes’ wicket
Symonds and Clarke
play shots – great cricket
finally game abandoned
many stops and starts with rain
look forward to exciting times
when two sides meet again
This poem was [...]

Let’s go Green Bay
All our fans say hay!
Come on Brett Farve
Can you ever get those few yards?
Our defense is pretty good
That we could beat the people in da hood
This year let’s beat the Colts
Then have a celebration with bolts
So we need to win
To help us in the end
Then we will make it to the playoffs
And [...]

Tennis is dominated by one name,
he goes by the name “Federer”,
losing to him is no shame,
than any other player he is far better.
His play has won over one and all ,
Be it Roddick , Sampras or Nadal.
His talent is sublime,
he is poised to be one of the greatest of all time.
Inspite of this he’s humble [...]

Stadium overcrowded by hooligans and fans
Cheering, waving flags, and clapping their hands
Players on the field, they’re ready to start
There goes the whistle; it pumps up their hearts
Adding strength to the ball, and kicking it high
The ball travels overhead, how beautiful it can fly
Over center field, and still it goes strong
Pass received with ease, and the [...]

I gaze into the eyes of my partner,
and smile.
I gaze into the crowd,
and straighten up.
The smell of horses and sweat is in the air.
Tension, excitement and agony is in my heart.
It’s time, it’s time to move.
I take my spot.
My heart’s racing.
All I can think is breathe slowly, relax and keep smiling.
I glance at the first [...]

Diamonds are a girls best friend
is what some people say,
but what about the biggest diamond
that comes into play.
It’s a mans best friend
not one that rests on his hand,
but stays in its place
it’s a nice piece of land.
Instead of it sparkling
and shining in light,
it’s layers of the earths soil
outlined in white.
Though other diamonds
can only be seen,
you [...]

sheilahs in high-schools
play a form of baseball
with very similar rules
in Oz it’s called softball
used to play short-stop
not because of midget
size, but liked excitement
of close-in, anxious fidget
strike one, batter misses
ball flies through to catcher
next strike is off line, and
foul! calls umpire-teacher
strike three! ball’s king-hit
outfielder chases, can’t catch
overthrows to third base and
home-runner wins match
This poem was written/submitted [...]

Lining up to see who is home or visitor
Get in positions ready to play
Running your heart out to steal a base
Trying to get that one perfect pitch
Making an outstanding play in the field
Making an error
Making an out
Cheering till you can not cheer anymore
Hitting that home run
Scoring the winning run
Pitching a no hitter
The umpire being bitter
Losing [...]

The same men have chosen
the game as their career,
ang get paid astronomically
to play six months in a year.
I see it’s not just a game
they all work hard during season.
i also see what they are paid
and feel there’s no logical reason.
I see there is alot more to baseball
than to just swing or to throw,
there are elements [...]

Now Rugby will never Bug me,
While the Ticket for Some, is the Cricket,
If you’re Seven Feet Tall, there’s Basketball,
And Soccer, if you Just want to Kick it !
That Tennis is Surely a Menace,
For those who Remain Overweight,
And a Fast Game of Squash, Oh Golly Gosh,
Needs Coronaries that can Dilate !
Cards are attractive, if you [...]
