ReplyDeleteI laughed my moon off

ReplyDeleteBrilliant, wow Tim...now that is a love letter :)
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna love this one until the cows come home.
ReplyDeleteVery entertaining One Shot, Timoteo!
i guess she said yes - did she?
ReplyDeleteto a love - forever?
Very fun! And I thought my poem was silly!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love your style of writing. :) I really hope some of those never happen but isn't your point that you will forever.
ReplyDeleteSUZICATE,
ReplyDeleteThis was something that started with a couple of lines, and over a period of days it grew into the basic poem, though I tinkered with it for some time after that. Glad you enjoyed it!
MONKEY MAN,
Yeah, ol' Ted--a modern day Neanderthal.
TERESA,
Hopefully, you might do both.
MAUREEN,
Wherever there's a crevice, I will take a crack at it!
KKRIGE,
Gotta have fun...oh YEAH!
EMMANUEL,
Thanks...always good to see ya!
SHASHI,

JERRY,

MOONDUST,

DEVIKA,
How are you, my dahling?
BKM,
The Phyllis Diller line may be the least likely to come true! ;)
LORRAINE,
What is romance without passion, my dear?
ERIC,
Hey--stay away, you cows!
CLAUDIA,
Not yet!
POEMBLAZE,
I thought your poem was very intelligent! :)
This is the freshest ode to love I've read for awhile. And the humor, oh, the humor!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the line, "Till all the Osmond Brothers are dead" and the part about Britney Spears wearing pants. Fab!!
your in for the long haul then!!! this was so original and inventive...really enjoyed this..cheers pete
ReplyDeleteI think this means you're going to love forever. This brought a smile.
ReplyDeleteYou could also have said "I'm gonna love you until the federal government balances the budget."
Interesting mix of heavy and pop subjects - clever-minded juxtapositions that lend a unique feel to the piece.
ReplyDeleteI do!
ReplyDeleteYou are so much fun!! and YES I want to be loved like that!
ReplyDeletei would love to be loved like that i gotta say this is as much hummor as it gets that was ammazing. and just what i needed
ReplyDeletethanks this made my day :)

ReplyDeleteha! in a crossfire, avoiding the fire, my dear :)
ReplyDeletewishes,
devika
Aw, Tim, I can always count on you to be funny, sweet and thought-provoking all at the same time. But speaking as someone who has had commitment issues, I have to say that forever is a very long time.
ReplyDeleteRIVER,
ReplyDeleteThanks...and quit singing that bad rap!
TERRESA,
You're sweet...and yes, I've been told that I'm "fresh" before!
PETE,
Thanks for being there, dude!
GLYNN,
Yeah, we know THAT will never happen!

TALON,
I am truly OK with that :)
DEVIKA,
Duck!
KOBICO,
I only said I would love you "Till Pluto is reinstated as a planet." There's still a remote possibility of that, so don't worry about forever! :)
Do I want to be loved like that? For sure!
ReplyDeleteCrazy, wild, funny, intellectual, stupendous, tremendous piece.
I love every line.
NO dear Tim, FISH in the Water, for now :)
ReplyDeletewishes,
