2. Do not use foul language or curse words in the poems.

3. Only one entry per member.

I don't know if this is the right thread to post it, but here's my poem:


If only my hear was black,
With curls at the front
And at the back
If only my eyes were green,
Of the most beautiful shade
you’ve ever seen
If only my mouth was like cherry
The most delicious red
It’s almost scary
If only I could look as glam in a short dress
Look in the mirror mirror
And say ‘I look good, yes!!!’
I hear a clock strike
It’s three at night.
I open my eyes
And think ’…right…
It was only a dream…

I’m not betty boop…’



there, I did my best... Hope you guys like it!!

[DEADPOOL]

Hey, i think im gonna have to try and win that snow globe, that looks the best to me!

[Neckless]

Here goes...hehehe

Here's the scoop
It's no poop!
I'd fly the coop
for Betty Boop!!

My hair may droop
While I drive the loop
I'll jump thru a hoop
for Betty Boop

Loop-d-loop
Hoop-d-hoop
I brought the troop
2-C Betty Boop!!

[BBooper]

Here is a poem I just made up about Betty. It's not much as it took me only the last 30 minutes to write ( can't you tell lol)
But I didn't even know about the contest till I just looked at this page so I thought it would be fun . I know it's not a real cheery ( I can't spelly the word cheer-eee??) poem or happy but it was fun to write. I haven't even tried writing poetry of any kind in 15 years.
Tribute to Betty
By Edward G. Marshall Sr.
(Aminal)

You came to be many years ago
even before I was a lad,
So pretty an so popular
what happened was so sad,

You had it all you sexy wench
and were as daring as could be.
But the censors said this won't do
You can no longer be wild and free.

So they rewrote who you were
and made you what THEY wanted.
Trouble is it wasn't popular
We loved what you flaunted!

So Betty You just faded out,
but not quite; not completely
You'll always live in our hearts
as long as there are still fans, like me!

[JennyBoop]

:D I like that!! Good job.

[Aminal]

thank you :)

[10eke]

There is this Lady who has her own special ways
and has been with me since my early school days.

She is way cool!

She is the one, the only Ms. BETTY BOOP. leboop448

Glad you have such a great sense of humor Aminal. It must be fun to have a daughter. I only had one son and 2 nephews so we never had any girls in the family and I sure wish we had. I'm hoping to have a great neice someday!!

BBooper

[Bikerbettyboop]

I'm still working on one but am having a hard time getting it to make sense and rhyme too... that's the tough part. But you can bet it'll be a doozy when I'm done with it.

[Boopsie-Cola]

man im usualy quite good at making up poems, but 4 some reason i just cant do it wen it coms to betty!!!! lol everytym i try to think of something all i get is the betty boop theme tune playing in my mind!!! "made of pen and ink, she can win you with a wink, aint she cute (somthing somthing)...sweeeeeeeeEEEEeeeeet betty!" "those eyes that pretty nose ......dah dah dha dont know the words dha dah dah dah dah !!!! :)

[Boopsie-Cola]

im gona go to bed now with a notepad and pen, im determined to have somthing by the morning!!!!!

[Aminal]

I found the best way to write a poem is to clear my mind and just let a single thought or line form. after that the rest just falls into place :)

[10eke]

That's how I do it, I start with one good line...

[lilhommieb74]

this is dedicated to betty boop.

Leaves may change
from green to gold,
the sky from blue to gray,
A summer's afternoon becomes
a sparkiling winter day,
people change,
and places change,
and time keeps changing,too,
But one thing always stays the same-
the love i feel for you

[Boopsie-Cola]

heres my entry, mg is it ok if i edit later if i want to change or add somthing??

[Boopsie-Cola]

curvy flirty ms betty boop
we love her shes our princess, our idol
the sweeet way she sings "boop oop a doop"
even inspired the likes of marilyn monroe

her cartoons we watch day in day out
to experience her come to life on the screen
wer amazed by her every move and sexy lil pout
nothing this gorgeous has ever been seen

we witness betty emerge from a dog
as we watch her cartoons in black and white
so beautiful and to think she is 70 yrs old?
to still have such an effect doesnt seem rite!

every1 that watched betty fell under her spell
then all came together on the bb website
they all became friends and got on so well
a boop oop a dooping family 4 life!!! :)

hope u like :) bess xxx ;)

[mgchan]

It's going to be a tough one for all of us to judge!!!

[10eke]

That's what I thought...

[Valerie]

here is my french contribution:

So your name is Betty Boop
You make everyone go for a loop .
You're so nice and so sweet
You make evry fan's heart beat .

What could we say about you ?
Except that we all love you !
Thank you so much for what you are .

Please never go away so far
that we would forget your look,
and have to remember you from a book!

[BBooper]

awww! i like that one! :D

You can edit your own posts just it's not fair on other contestant's to change your original entry. understand now? :)

[Valerie]

!!!!!!!!!!suppose i have to LOL!!!!!hihihi

[Bikerbettyboop]

Ok here is my contribution to the poem contest and no laughing allowed cause this is pretty serious.....


Betty looks so fine in her denim jeans

As she climbs on board that mean machine

She heads out on the highway, destination unknown

She’s riding with the wind, boys let her roam

Watch her ride. See her ride.

She’s the queen of the road

Her name is Betty Boop

With black spit curls and eyes so green

Don’t mess with her. You know what I mean?

Betty loves the sound of that engine roar

Riding down the highway her spirits soar.

She’s got Pudgy there in the old side car

But everyone knows that Betty’s the star

Watch her ride. See her ride.

Everyone loves this biker babe

Her name is Betty Boop and she knows the scoop

So get out of her way… boop…boop..a… doop

[Valerie]

great, i realise we all have litterary talents!!!!!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Glad you like it... Don thought it was "funny"

"Funny" I asked?

"What's so funny about it?"

"Oh nothing" he said and then walked away laughing.

Ha! I worked hard on this... who knows, I may even make it into a song.... where did I put my guitar???????

[Valerie]

BB has taken it to play her hawaian tunes!!!!!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey good answer... ha ha!!

Do you like Betty Boop in Hawaiian images? Character Collectibles is bringing out a whole new Hawaiian line of Betty Boop this spring and I can't hardly wait to see them.

[Valerie]

i like what they do some of my items are character collectibles i forgot to say that some of them i bought from a belgium girl who used to sell things on ebay!
do you like my tea pot?

[JennyBoop]

That is A great poem BikerBetty.:D

[10eke]

it is a wonderfull poem indeed! I like it a lot!

[livingbooper]

Oh goodie! I finally found the poems! Great job everyone!
I'm afraid that I've got writer's block... I'm hoping to pull soemthing out of my hat at the end.

BikerBettyBoop, I know that you were fretting over this poem but I think it's great. I'm glad you posted it!
As to Don's reaction...well... many guys just aren't into poetry unless it's in a card they are trying to pick for someone. They don't inderstand it.
But I think your poem about BikerBetty rocks!:D

There are so many good entires... it will be hard to choose!

[MISSTERRYMAN]

The competition
Oh Betty with your big wide eyes,
I sometimes stare into the mirror and despise,
That your only a cartoon.
For if you were real,
you would most certainly be,
a stunner with a big future.

I know you are still around,
but other things are too.
Like Mickey and Minnie and Donald and Daisy.
But Betty I`ll always like you better than Hello Kitty and Maisy.
So dont despair , I`ll always care.

All my Love,
Sassyxxxx

[BBooper]

cute poem!

BBooper
xxx

[JennyBoop]

Yes it is A very cute poem.:D

[bexi3]

Ok, here goes!

It's difficult to know, just where to start;
She was the one with a fairly small part!
A dog was how she was first portrayed -
A character some say she should never have played,
For she was clearly the star of the show,
And this is something her makers now know!

From dog to a lady, the transition was smooth,
She was sexy and sophisticated, and managed to prove,
That it didn't matter what she was at the start,
she was always destined for a bigger part!!

What is it exactly that makes us obsess,
About the girl who wears that red dress?
Is it her eyes that glimmer and shine,
Or is it that figure - so curvy and divine....

Or maybe it's what she's done right here.
She's managed to bring everyone so near!
Miles and miles part our forum,
Oceans and seas, time zones, and then some!
But still she's managed to create this space,
where it doesn't matter that I'm in another place
I can still sit and communicate with each individual friend,
Who, hopefully, I might get to meet in the end!

So in conclusion to my babbling rhyme,
I urge everybody to take the time,
to get to know the lady in question -
and maybe even add a suggestion,
on how we can all pull together,
and make sure Ms Boop stays round forever!!


****Takes a bow*****

[Valerie]

hie Bexi, nothing else to say but splendid wonderfull i've just read your poem and my mouth stay opened!!!!!!!!!!!

OK here it goes, right of the top of my head and hopefully original!

Hey Betty your so dirty,sometimes it makes me wanna get flirty,
Knowing your a minx always makes me think,

Well when I see you riding your bike i always say,
lets go that way,alway the way to betty heaven,
on a harley dressed in tight leather!
Thats right Betty we know you got a rough sexy side,
and im full of pride when i say Betty,
You'd be a sexy wife!!
