World Poetry Day, March 21st 2009

hello,

You may have seen the posting on the discussion forum for the past few weeks regarding World Poetry Day.  The votes are in and I am pleased to announce that the users of hitched.co.uk have voted 'The One' as the most romantic poem ever, taking 38.4% of the vote.

The One

 

When the one whose hand you're holding

Is the one who holds your heart

When the one whose eyes you gaze into

Gives your hopes and dreams their start,

When the one you think of first and last

Is the one who holds you tight,

And the things you plan together

Make the whole world seem just right,

When the one whom you believe in

puts their faith and trust in you,

You've found the one and only love

You'll share your whole life through.

- Author Unknown

Thanks to all who voted.

Can't think why it's author unknown, if I'd written that gem I'd be shouting it from the rooftops.

Only if your name was "Hallmark Cards" Roobarb.

Is it too late for a recount?

Do you think it was maybe penned by our very own Evy?

Good grief.

Whenever I read the word "heart" in bad poems, I expect the next line to end in "fart". I don't really know why.

When the one whose hand you're holding,

is the one who holds your heart

When the one whose eyes you gaze into

lets rip with a rancid fart

Kick the dirty fecker out of the bed

Light a candle and spreadeagle instead.

When the one whose hand you're holding

Is the one who holds your heart

You know that your anaesthetist

Is not doing their part

Oh beg them for some ether

So your surgeons hand is free

For 'tis best to be unconscious

During cardiac surgery.

I got as far as "the one whose eyes you gaze into" and my eyes glazed over.  Dire.
