OK all you macho gruffs. :grumpy: Less than a month until Valentine's Day. I know it seems like there is a lot of negative romance going around the Forum lately, but let's try to correct that.
In honor of the coming holiday, AND the milestone of my 1100th posting (missed 1000 somehow), I offer all you Beckerheads and wannabe Beckerheads this task.
You must author a romantic verse to your loved one -- real or imagined, in one of two forms. Either the Hallmark stanza --
Example:
Roses are red,
Beckers are black,
You would look better,
With one in your back!
OR, the standard 5-line limrick version:
There once was a lady from Barlow;
Who....
[well, you know how to do the rest -- first, second and fifth lines must rhyme]
Rules: Content may be subtle, but no outright vulgarity. Poems or limricks may be as long as you like, but 4 lines minimum. They should rhyme. They must be romantic -- much more so than the examples above. AND, THE VERSE MUST SHOW BECKER CONTENT!
Contest will be judged on creativity and romantic content. Judging will be done by Mrs. K-9, since I have no clue how to be romantic. Contest ends on midnight, February 1, so there will be time to ship the prize to you in time for the big day.
So...what do you win???
Well, as usual, you do all the work and don't win ANYTHING. However, the subject of your romantic passages WILL win a DuraCoated, custom-jimped BK14; WITH DuraCoated sheath and pink 550 cord for her very self! [Oh, and the optional factory scale's lanyard hole has been opened up a little, too]
And you thought she wanted a box of chocolates and a bunch of flowers.
And here it is!
Good luck and let's start getting romantic!
