Words of Love

The mysoginists had a field day !!

THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE:

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.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.

I thought that I could love no other.
That is until I met your brother.

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.

I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don't take that paper bag off 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
