Poem for April 5

I found this poem many years ago during the wild west days of the internet, when it seemed like information was everywhere, if only you knew where to look.

Seriously, I've had a printout of this poem for something like 10 years.

I think it's very clever. I know absolutely nothing else about it.



It Also Needs a Title


When (something something ...) in my beating heart,
(Insert a line about a summer's day)
(Allude to love but only make it part
Of something else that you intend to say.)
Your (something else) is like a (something else...)
(Explain yourself in sweet romantic words)
(Say something like you won't forgive yourself
If love like this should ever go unheard.)
You'll always be (a bunch of other lines...)
Together (put a list of things you'll do...)
(A little bit of rhythm and some rhymes
Will guarantee their love belongs to you.)
(Then as you finish write something clever)
Until we (something finally...) ever.
