Not much coming in this week, but I thought this was a laugh…
These are couplets taken from the rhyme zone site where there’s this competition for writing the most romantic first line and most unromantic second..
Here are a few of the entries…
Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss
but I only slept with you, cause I was pissed …..
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.
After you, my love, my only prize
Would be a bullet between my eyes
Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face
I thought that I could love no other
Until, that is, I met your brother
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot
This describes everything you’re not
I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don’t take that paper bag off of your face
I love your smile, your face, and your eyes-
Damn, I’m good at telling lies!
Every time I see your face
I wish I were in outer space
I saw your face as you walked by
But then I saw a better guy
My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life
Beauty is on the inside, but some may doubt,
If it’s true, I’d prefer you inside out.
What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime
I see your face when I am dreaming
That’s why I always wake up screaming
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”.
