Here are the winning entries from a competition for writing the most romantic first line and most unromantic second line...
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,
& so is your head.
After you, my love, my only prize
Would be a bullet between the eyes.
Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face.
I thought that I could love no other
Until, that is, I met your brother.
Kind, intelligent, loving and hot.
This describes everything you're not.
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!
Every time I see your face,
I wish I were in outer space.
I saw your face as you walked by
But then I saw a better guy.
My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life.
Beauty is on the inside,
but some may doubt,
If it's true,
I'd prefer you inside out.
What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.
I see your face
when I am dreaming
That's why I always
wake up screaming.
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."
