Any preference? Which one should go on the greeting card?

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.
