THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE:
My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life.
I see your face when I am dreaming:
That's why I always wake up screaming.
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot:
This describes everything you are not.
Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss:
But I only slept with you 'cause I was pissed.
I thought that I could love no other:
that is until I met your sister.
Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you:
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead,
the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.
I want to feel your sweet embrace:
But don't take that paper bag off your face.
I love your smile, your face, and your eyes :
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
My love, you take my breath away:
What have you stepped in to smell this way?
My feelings for you no words can tell:
Except for maybe "Go to hell."
