Your Love

Your love is like diamonds.
That sparkle in the night.
Your love is like the stars.
That shine so bright.

Your love is like the wind.
That feels so cool.
Your love is like icecream.
That tastes so smooth.

Your love is like the sky.
That is so blue.
Your love is like a bright sunny day.
That makes the world seem new.

My Love

My love sails on blue waters.
Blue waters of your heart.
My love dances on the wind.
The wind of your soul.

My love is a true reflection.
Reflection of your eyes.
My love will live forever.
In your body and soul.

The Night Was Made For Romance

The night was made for romance.
In the night our two hearts dance.
Under the stars our lips touch.
In the garden your embrace means so much.

The night was made for love.
Our hearts cooing like a white dove.
Your eyes sparkling like diamonds so white.
I love you darling with all my might.

The night was made for caring and trust.
And darling, God made this night for us.

Our Love

As long as there is love, I will cherish you.

As long as there is life, I will love you.

As long as the stars shine above, I will want you.

As long as there are waves in the ocean, I will need you.

As long as there is heaven above, there will always be our love.

Only Love

Love can sometimes be fresh.
Love can sometimes be new.
Love can sometimes make you happy.
And sometimes make you blue.

Love is the light that radiates from your eyes.
Love is your image floating in the skies.

Love is true.
And darling, the only love for me is you.

Well, I just started reading you last night, and I must say, I'm already enjoying. So, I figured, why not give this contest a whirl, even though I'm new? Haha. Well, here we go...

-----
Now, I must admit, that my love does the cooking,
And all of his food is very fine looking.
But these days I find it's gone all to my waist!
So a dieting cookbook we're in need of post-haste.
And should my entry be the one chosen,
Perhaps next he cooks, it won't be from frozen.
Something healthy, and wholesome, and good for us too,
That doesn't seem like diet food, even as we chew.

*sigh*

Verse 4, line 2:

It's a really prime time for some NEW recipes.

Can't believe I mucked up the rhythm like that.

2008-07-29T18:22:00.000-04:00

Oh Crabby and Merry! I’m not trying to dodge!
I’ve just been obsessed with my Rafa and Rog
As they roar their way through tourneys and I keep hopin’
We’ll see FEDAL finals this year at the Open.

So I’m sorry for entering this time so late;
My computer clock says that I’ll still make the date
For your deadline, your drawings, your offers, your book –-
‘Cause I can boil water; I did learn to cook

-- as a girl; my mom let me her prize cheesecakes mix
(which is likely one reason I’m still in this fix –
Trying to sculpt the physique, get more pep, get more juice,
And the muscles more tight, disposition more loose)

And when your own metabolism you need to please
It’s a really prime time for some recipes.
So now I need your help! I need new ways of cooking!
‘Cause how else am I supposed to get myself looking

Like the WTAs look? Without any dopin’?
(You see I don’t talk much ‘bout the girls in the Open :D)
And catch Rafa’s eye? Rogi’s in his new sweater?
Never be in that shape ‘less I learn to cook better.

No interest in the cook book as I have recently gone vegan but I did mention you on my blog today.

Just thought you might like to know.

Happy Training,

Crabby, you inspired me with your poem, and I set out in hopes to write one in kind. I hope you like it.

Echem!...

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who liked to catch fish with a bucket
His plan would not fail
Till tipped the full pail
And with a loud voice he cried, "SHUCK IT!"

(Keeping it clean here.)
I'm having too much fun with this. I've got one more, and then I'll stop! ;)

So you want to learn how to cook
And may even like winning this book
But one thing I've learned
If the meal does get burned
State proudly, "That's how it's supposed to look!"

2008-07-26T07:01:00.000-04:00

There are some great ones in here, this is going to be hard to judge!

And thanks, those who've used the cookbook, I appreciate hearing your thoughts. I'm glad to hear that the recipes are actually easy to make--so many cookbooks SAY that but then they haven't met Crabby McSlacker in the kitchen!

2008-07-25T15:19:00.000-04:00

I've had two extremes at my house:
A son who never stops eating,
He's as big as a moose!
Daughters who were finicky
Married picky eaters!

Now why would I want a cookbook?
For the sake of winning online
This would be sublime
I could brag about my skills
In the kitchen and the interwebs!

There's nothing better than poetry. Here is my feeble attempt (and despite the poem, I really do like to cook and still eat straight out of my garden!):

I've never met a food I didn't quite like.
Even when I was an itty bitty tyke.

I'd take a tomato right off the vine,
Bite right into it, and declare it all mine!

I'd say to hell with the cooking, I like it raw.
But that was before I saw what I saw.

A huge giant worm crawled out my 'mater.
And now I make sure to get all my food catered!

About my 12 year old Number Two Son, who does all of the barbecuing around here:

The boy, at age twelve,
Now has the grill of his dreams;
So mom gets a break.

there once was a girl on a raw diet,
but she smelled meat and thought she must try it.
so not to cheat,
she ate raw meat
and now she's glued to the toilet.

sorry. that's gross. but i'm having a giveaway too! come on by! http://www.nowenteringmomville.blogspot.com/

my husband made bread
oops! t-s-p means teaspoon?
too salty to eat

(t-s-p is three syllables)

True story - the architect didn't know the difference between tsp & TBn & we ended up with REALLY salty, inedible bread. but at least he knows now!

2008-07-25T11:27:00.000-04:00

I have a husband who cooks
He's got the moves and the looks
He does it southern-style
With cheese, butter and a smile
And it's hard to lose weight
With his food on my plate
So we clearly need that cookbook!

So I guess this is a double-entry, since Christine entered a poem on my behalf (I live in the southeastern U.S.). I had never heard of this blog until she alerted me. Can't wait to read through the archives!

A young woman got sick of her derriere
And decided to buy it a carrier
But no! said her doc
Enough of this talk!
It's a case of the more, the Merrier!

Hey, I'm just saying. A poem can be really really bad. Hold your nose and plunge right in! Don't be shy!

I have this cookbook, so I'm not so peeved about being cut out of the winnings by living north of the border.

It's actually really good and super easy. Even for me. And that's saying a LOT.

2008-07-25T11:08:00.000-04:00

That really sucks that this contest is only open to US citizens, as those gals who wrote the cookbook are Canadian!!!!!!!!!!!! Sheesh.

But good luck to all you folks south of the border - this is an awesome cookbook!

My meat isn't done 'til it's dry
If there's juice in there I'm going to cry
My family, they quake
When I cook them steak
They'll all break their teeth, by and by.
