When I was first trying to woo the wife, I thought it’ll be really romantic to write her a poem. So I wrote up this poem, complete with flowery ‘g’s and dotted ‘i’s. After I gave the poem to her, she avoided me for several days. I’ve never really figured out why. Anyway, here’s the the original poem.

“The Fluttering candle”

Ooo my dear rosy
You make me all woozy
I am here, sitting in class
You are there, across the green grass

What is life: Love and friendship?
Woe is me, with all my hardship
Our meeting, it cannot be incidental,
Nothing else rhymes, so I’ll say environmental

You came in my life like a tornado
And left my little soul like a tomato
My kidney, liver and heart have formed a group
Swimming like a bread crumb in tomato soup

Come with me, lets share the pain,
It’s a good deal, there’s a lot to gain
Let’s go out, dancing in the rain,
Please don’t think of me as insane!
