Stanley Cooper Poems

I've never been to No-where, so
I wonder what I've missed
No-where's a place I'd like to go
Just to learn where it exists
...

Golf, baseball and girls, scantily clad
Obsessions of mine when just a young lad
Not listed here in order of rank
Baseball came first, to be perfectly frank
...

Today I thought it might be fun
Writing of things I’ve never done
Like flying out in outer space
Or winning a Supreme Court case
...

“It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy”
Is said in veneration
It fits him well and does comply
With deserved admiration
...

What if what was….never was?

The start of life, a mystery
We wouldn’t have a history
...

I’m beginning to look
Like my grandpa looked
When I thought he looked
Very old
...

North against South, hatred unbound
Grant versus Lee - our country aflame
Young men maimed on no neutral ground
A blood potpourri, our nation in shame
...

To keep in step one must keep up
With dances of the day
Just when you think you’re all caught up
A new dance is on display
...

It should come as no big suprise
That Algebra, with all its Xs and Ys
Along with its tasteless inedible PIs
Is the cause of many students demise
...

Baseball ain’t just a game
Ask any fan, it’s a way of life
Life and Baseball, so much the same
Similarly filled with fun and strife
...
