Such a contest.....
A local newspaper ran a competition asking for a rhyme with the most romantic first line...
but the least romantic second line. Here are some of the entries they received...........
AN ODE TO LOVE
I thought that I could love no other
Until, that is, I met your brother
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
Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you
But the roses are wilting, violets are dead, sugar bowl's empty and so is your head
Oh loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are 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!
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”
What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.
