These are entries to a Washington Post Competition asking for a two-line rhyme with the most Romantic First line and the 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,
But I only slept with you 'cause I was pissed.
5. I thought that 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 want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face.
8. I love your smile, your face, and your eyes
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
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 rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.
Who said Poetry is Boring?

Jimmy, those are pretty funny....well maybe one or two.
Isn't it kind of dangerous for a young unmarried man to be placing such posts on the family blog?

Reminds of this:
A university creative writing class was asked to write a concise
essay containing the following elements:
1. Religion
2. Royalty
3. Sex
4. Mystery
The prize-winning one-line essay read:
"My God," said the Queen, "I'm pregnant. I wonder who did it!"
