If you and she go together like snow
And February, and if your sweetheart
is the only, not just some skanky ho,
then proclaim your love loudly as a fart
after burritos- but not as stinky.
Roses, hugs, and romance are fine unless
she prefers something somewhat more kinky.
If flowers are not her thing then I guess
you could try a ring. But you have to try,
appease her unless she is a teaser
because if you don’t some other dumb guy
will take a stab at trying to please her.
So be sure to show your true affection
and don’t cheat or you’ll get an infection.
I prefer this one. The meter still stinks like bean burrito gas, but overall it seems a little better. But I can understand if you like the first one better-they are both pure gold. I expect a few generations from now, school children will be studying them, perhaps having to recite them aloud. ("Teacher, what's 'snow?'")
Also, I now understand why Shakespeare invented so many words. When trying to fit 10 syllables to a line and keep a set meter, it seems far easier to just make up a word than to find one that fits. It's sort of like what I do with crossword puzzles.
