How Much Do I Love Thee?
By Talisker
19 December 2006
You are like a hang-glider,

With chronic diarrhoea,

Like piles to a bike rider,

A dead fly in my beer.

You’re woodworm in a cripple’ crutch,

As pure as driven slush,

You’ve got B.O. you talk too much,

Your brain is just a mush.

You’re best in something flowing,

Why don’t you try a river?

You make me pleased by going,

You’re a taker not a giver,

If beauty only is skin deep,

Then who the Hell peeled you?

You’re such an asshole, crass and cheap,

A pile of steaming poo!

They say you’ve Viking features,

A face just like a Norse,

I think I’ll find a preacher,

To exorcise your curse.

Your tits are like a spaniel’s ears,

Your bra fits back to front,

Your conversation bores to tears,

If I may be so blunt.

Both your knees have double chins,

Your face is like a saint (Bernard!)

You always dribble when you grin,

I wouldn’t call you learned.

A crew of drunken seamen,

Wouldn’t touch you on shore leave,

You laugh just like a demon,

You cause my guts to heave!

They named a town in your honour,

That town is Leatherhead,

Why not try being a loner,

Better still, be dead!

Yet still you want to ask me out,

To have some super sex!

I’ll have the bowl of soup, no doubt,

And then delete this text!

I hope you've calmed down after writing this one Oli, because I laughed and laughed. Perhaps you just made it up, or perhaps you're being chased around the streets 
by a real looker. 
 
Loved it. 
 
Phil.

This really got me going. The line that first appealed was 'You're best in something flowing / Why don't you try a river?' But I concur with JourneyAtNight about the beauty line, the spaniels' ears and the bra fitting back-to-front. I'll bet you hand fun writing this -- I had fun reading it.

Ah you've still got it Oli me lad - very very funny, I liked this one very much - especially the line that witzl pointed out. In fact I liked it so much I'm going to read it again :)
