I wasn't satisfied with the roses, the Belgian chocolates, and the champagne. So I wrote her a poem.
​
Lucky Me --- a skeptical sonnet.
​
Let foolish others deck their arms
with bracelets hung with lucky charms;
or clutch, by superstitious habit
the foot that didn't help the rabbit;
triadeskaphobic, think obscene
those harmless numerals, 13;
ward off a witch by throwing salt.
They're idiots. It's not their fault.
​
I need no superstitious ways
to give me luck through all my days:
for all good fortune must attend
the man who has you for his friend.
So long as you, my love, will be
my wife --- then lucky, lucky me.

Did you get laid? Because really, what's a poem without the happy ending...?
​
Great poem nontheless.

I've spent the last 24 hours being violently sick.
​
If there is anything less romantic than having your beloved watch you puking up in Wal-Mart, I don't want to know about it.
​
But she did like the poem. And it's by no means the best poem I've written for her.

Nicely Done
Well spun Dr.
​
Too bad on the illness though. Puts a damper on the smooching.
​
I got tulips and the good fortune that my hubby wasn't hurt when he totaled his truck.
​
Poems are extra special when you write them yourself. Nice job!

Sucks dude, but I'm right there with you.
​
I had my wisdom teeth pulled (bottom ones) thursday and was out of commission all weekend.
​
And I know, its only two wisdom teeth, the four wisdom teeth removal people have felt more pain. I get it!
​
Which reminds me of, Brian Regan:

A talent I have yet to aquire. I'll stick to old school mix tapes, well, CD's now-a-days.
