Extreme Romance.

(EDIT: Who just sent me an anonymous vgift? Thank you so much! ♥!)


Happy Valentine's Day! Would anyone like an incredibly terrible poem?

WARNING: I AM NOT JOKING WHEN I SAY THEY WILL BE INCREDIBLY TERRIBLE. Here are some of my compositions so far:

For my ex-housemate (but also dedicated with love to the Hannahs on my flist):

OH HANNAH
YOU ARE NOT A SPANNER
EVERYONE ELSE IS AN ALSO-RANNER
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY



For my housemate from Nottingham and her unrhymable name:

OH RACH
OWING TO SOUTHERN INFLUENCE YOU NO LONGER DROP YOUR 'H'...S
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY



For myself (yes, I composed a Valentine's Day poem for myself), and possibly the worst of the lot due to slightly unfortunate rhyming:

OH HARRIET
JOIN ME IN MY CHARIOT
LOTS OF LOVE FROM JUDAS ISCARIOT
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY



If you would like an appalling poem, let me know in the comments! (If you give me your name and/or nicknames as well, that might make things easier.)

Ooh! Ooh! Me! Pick me!

(Yeah, Rachel is kind of a bitch to rhyme. You can pretend I have another name if you'd like. Like "Eugene" or something with a bit more poetic potential.)

Happy Valentines Day! :D

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I once knew a girl called Riona
And really quite wanted to own her.
I'd've made her write rhymes
Simply hundreds of times
But she hid and ran off to Verona.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Me! Me! Me!

Something with Wolfy, please. It's the coolest nickname I've had in my life!

(The second-coolest was Ma'am Baby Cat.)

THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD!

I'M SO GLAD THAT I'VE KNOWN A
RIONA
I WISH I COULD CLONE A
RIONA
I'LL NEVER DISOWN A
RIONA
SAY HI TO FIONA (if you know anyone with that name)
RIONA
AS IT WOULD BE RUDE TO TRY TO OWN A
RIONA
I'VE RUN OUT OF RHYMES FOR
RIONA

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO YOU, TOO!

I would like a poem! But I'm afraid Jessica doesn't really rhyme with anything. =( Jess, though, that could work.

DID YOU SEND ME AN ANONYMOUS, POEM-ACCOMPANIED BEARHUG??? It made me smile for HOURS (seriously, I kept thinking of it and SMILING all day), so if indeed it was you, thank you <3

(If it was not you, there is another genius poet on my flist.)

(OTHER POEMS WELCOME.)

Ooh, ooh, yes please! Ness, if possible. :D

(Oh David Mitchell,
You're a looker,
My name isn't Bill,
It's Charlie Brooker.)

My personal favourite of all Valentines is in Kingdom of Loathing, sent by Ed the Undying - an ancient mummy who is completely immortal, and shouts "UNDYING!" between the many times you kill him. You actually fight him seven times, reducing him to fewer and fewer bits each time. In between, you get little interludes, such as:

You triumphantly step over the mummy's fallen husk, and reach for the Holy MacGuffin within the sarcophagus. It is nearly within your grasp, when you suddenly feel a bony grip on your ankle. "Not that easy, kiddo. Undying, remember?"

"Hell," you mutter. "I was hoping you were just bluffing."

"Nope."


and

Ed growls in inarticulate fury, his eyes blazing (though not as brightly as before).

"C'mon, dude. This is ridiculous."

"UNDYING!"

"sigh."


Anyway. On Valentine's Day, you can buy little pre-written poems with pictures to append to messages you send. Each is related to a certain character or monster, such as the BASIC Elemental (I've said it before / And I'll say it again: / 10 PRINT "I Love You" / 20 GOTO 10) or the ninja pirate zombie robot (AVAST VALENTINE-CHAN / I'M STRUCK BY YER BEAUTY / I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LOGIC / BRAINS, HONOR, OR BOOTY.). To finally get to the point, as I said, my favourite is Ed the Undying.

I'm so into you
That the grave I'm defying,
I promise my love for you
Will be... UNDYING!!!

Which I personally thought was hilarious. Anyway, having overused comment space, I would not at all mind a poem!
