#1: Two line poetry Author: Vince, Location: Brisbane AUSTRALIAPosted: Sat Jan 04, 2014 7:37 am ----
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 went with you 'cause I was p1ssed.
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?

Got back into the airconditioning yet?
#6: Re: Two line poetry Author: Vince, Location: Brisbane AUSTRALIAPosted: Sun Jan 05, 2014 10:45 pm ---- No poetry for my SWMBO...not game mate.
Air Con...oh, I wish. Spent last Saturday at the shopping Centre...sat in the back of the Food Court and read a book. Today isn't much better, but I have things I have to do at home. It's been 35*C (95*F) inside and when I took the thermometer outside, into my shaded pergola, the temp went up to 46*C (115*F) in the shade. I'd hate to be out your way mate...it is even hotter.
Fortunately we have a thunder storm headed this way, so I am hoping within an hour or so things will be significantly cooler. Might even sit out in the rain in a pair of shorts with a nice cold beer.
