Not Quite the Poet
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Oh my, lump in the bed
How I’ve missed you.
Roses are redder
Bluer am I
Seeing you kissed by that charming French guy.
The dogs and the cat, they missed you too
Barney’s still mad you dropped him, he ate your shoe
The distance, my dear, has been such a barrier
Next time you want an adventure, just land on a carrier.
—Gdub
In response to this gem, Richard Hoffpauir, professor emeritus at the University of Alberta, told Canada’s National Post:
It is just silly and a little bit embarrassing. I am surprised she would make it public. As a little gesture between a husband and wife it is fine. But I can’t speak to its literary merits because it is not literature. It does not come anywhere near. It is not even up to the standard of Hallmark.
I studied the British Romantic Movement — early 19th century — Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley, Byron. This is just sentiment and flabby sentiment at best.
