Valentine’s Day Poem

Comment

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,

A medley of extemporanea;

And love is a thing that can never go wrong,

And I am Marie of Roumania.

  1. That’s cool … but a little sad too.
    Even though there is no mention of the word ‘love’ in the song – this is the coolest love song I know:
    Imagine
    Imagine there’s no Heaven
    It’s easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today
    Imagine there’s no countries
    It isn’t hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace
    You may say that I’m a dreamer
    But I’m not the only one
    I hope someday you’ll join us
    And the world will be as one
    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world
    You may say that I’m a dreamer
    But I’m not the only one
    I hope someday you’ll join us
    And the world will live as one

  5. Jake, can I post your poem in my blog when I discuss fallacies? Please?

  6. Um, Thony, … Jake is the name of the poet, duh, I’m a dork 🙁
    (sorry for the spamminess, John)

  8. May I lower the tone?
    I love a good bum on a woman
    It makes me feel happy all day
    It’s a proof of God’s existance

  9. A few (okay, several) years back, the Flash Girls did a song called “Dorothy Parker and Me” which has that verse as the chorus. If you can make the intertubes deliver it to you, I strongly recommend it.

  13. That George. Thinks he so great because he’s not albino.
    At least he faces his responsibilities…
