Gone is the time to fear any omen
bubbling like a city of fine women
fate never assumes
as bad luck so fumes
the hour has come as life says amen.

Hank was a maker of stilts
and sold stunning quilts.
Trade was a success
but caused folks duress
when workers on stilts wore kilts.

star, success,
An aspiring actor named Max Finkel
Felt that his star would soon shine and twinkle ~
He just needed one small part
That would provide him a start ~
Played a 'Hobo:' Max tinkled and stinkled

Way To Success God Had Shone
Instead of being bare to the bone,
And also by myself and left alone;
Bothered being;
Not worth seeing;
Wish way to success God had shone.

I once knew a girl from Nantucket
Who chased down a goose, just to pluck it
As she ran, took a spill
So he gave her a quill
And I guess we all know, where he stuck it
Just not clean enough for contests---lol

Steph Curry is taking hoops to a whole new level,
Say the rabid Oaktown fans as they revel.
The way he throws it in the hole
from downtown off a pick and roll
Makes me wonder if he's signed on with the Devil...

Golfers ahead were really slow
because their dead balls just wouldn't go
we offered them beer,
later we found cheer--
they stepped aside to let it outflow.

on writing and words, success,
There was a young poet named Ben
Whose poetry never did win,
Then his talent, I’m told,
Began to take hold,
Now Ben’s awards never end.

Sending out exercises and instructions so sound
discipline and good guidance steadily going round
in times never to imagine
words linked back to origin
ensuring from grass root, Life's graceful path has been found.

School work leads to thrilling careers
Say hooray hip hip--give three cheers!
A student's new skill
Brings success just until
The bill for the loan's in arrears!

OOOPS!!! earphones plugged in ears they're laughing.

Once there was a teacher by name Jenish Anthony "the Holy"
represented success by the simple equation “E=C2” coolly
“E” success in any endeavor of value
“C” uncompromising pursuit of a value
Bloody this hypothesis of Jenish"the great teacher" is no folly!

There once was a dog,
who started a blog,
he reported the news,
with barking reviews,
then toasted success with egg nog.

hope, inspirational, philosophy,
light a candle
let it glow with hope
let its thin film of smoke
disperse the dark clouds
let it drizzle and frizzle out your stress,
let it wash off the stench of sweat
let your pregnant hope
deliver twins and triplets;
multiple tales of success.

Think I'll get back to sketching famous people
When they autograph my drawings it's a really big deal
My success rate's way up there
Much more than my share
Twelve hundred last time, that was totally surreal

Pains and sweat, the body is in need of a scratch
in failure’s holocaust, victimized in its catch
nearly giving up all and beg
then comes the matured egg
after much trials is the long awaited hatch.

Limericks by definition are supposed to be naughty
But I'll try to be more sophisticated and not so bawdy
Not promising success
An impish mind I possess
Have a feeling they'll still be more than a wee bit saucy

On the football field young Davy hurt his knee
Lots of excruciating pain, yes-sir-ee,
He is never a quitter
Says he is never fitter
Continuing playing to win is the key.

Security from power’s bars makes one stay alone
luxury so sweet, but a hope for a better clone
beyond the need to succeed
but the pleasures are flaccid
wealth simply prevents freedom from rendering a loan

...for Juvie's 'moose'
Her moose is loose and wanderin',
her peace of mind he's squanderin',
if he don't get back here
sometime later this year,
she'll just hafta do her own launderin'!

silly,
Can always guarantee myself success
Just write about different stages of undress
The female form's a delight
My naughty passions ignite
But in public these feelings I must suppress

There was a student who wanted to be smart
He cherished learning and studied hard
He worked seriously on his own
And success was his only hope
He realized he couldn't without his phone be smart.

A leprechaun fond of his sport
Took heed of each skill he was taught,
But hard as he tried
Success was denied
He'd always end up falling short!

There is a way to succeed
If simple instructions you heed.
Don’t ever time squander,
From right paths don’t wander,
And never be caught up in greed!
