THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC một giây LINE:
My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying bạn 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 bạn are not.
tình yêu may be beautiful, tình yêu may be bliss,
But I only slept with bạn 'cause I was pissed.
I thought that I could tình yêu no other --
That is until I met your brother.
hoa hồng are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the hoa hồng 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 tình yêu your smile, your face, and your eyes –
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
My love, bạn take my breath away.
What have bạn stepped in to smell this way?
My feelings for bạn no words can tell,
Except for maybe 'Go to hell.'
What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.
