The following were the entries to a Washington Post Competition asking for a two line rhyme; with the most romantic first line and a least romantic second line.
1. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife: Marrying you has screwed up my life.
2. I see your face when I am dreaming. That's why I always wake up screaming.
3. Kind, intelligent, loving and hot; This describes everything you are not.
4. Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss. I slept with you 'cause I was pissed.
5. I thought I could love no other -- That is until I met your brother.
6. 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.
7. I love you smile, your face and your eyes. Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
8. I want to feel your sweet embrace. Don't ever take that paper bag off your face.
9. My love, you take my breath away. What have you stepped in to smell this way?
10. My feelings for you, no words can tell. Except for maybe 'Go to hell'.
11. What inspired this amorous poem? Two parts vodka and one part lime.
Romance is in the air ;)
