THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO LINE RYHME

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. I love your smile, your face, and your eyes;

Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

7. My love, you take my breath away;

What have you stepped in to smell this way?

8.What inspired this amorous rhyme?

Two parts vodka, one part lime.

9.I want to feel your sweet embrace;

But don't take that paper bag off your face.

10. 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.
