    if you are the winner i’ll use words like ‘darling’, ’sweetie’ and ‘dinner’

    oooh. although i would think you’d be more likely to use ‘wife’ ‘dinner’ and ‘now’.

    I’m just adding a comment here as a stepping-stone for Jenny to arrive at number 16 …

    I don’t particularly want a poem written about me with “darling”, “sweetie”, “dinner”, and “poo” in it… (Although, you know, thanks for the thought.)

    Surely a poem about “darling”, “sweetie”, “dinner”, and “poo” would fit you fine Jimmy.

    having slept on it, i think it only fair that you write a poem for someone else. you can write a poem for me anytime (cough).

    Strode out one day
    An ardent young poet called Howie
    Armed with vocabulary mighty
    Called forth the muse
    His wife amused
    And gave Shakespeare a run for his money

    maybe i’ll be the 16th commenter, wow writting a poem about myself would be the best

    only two to go…

    It could be me… I’m excited!!

    I know it’s not going to be me cause I have to go to bed…and everyone else is probably eagerly waiting and not wanting to be 15 because that means they can’t be 16. So I will be the one that helps someone win.

    But perhaps whoever wins will write me a poem because I am being so self-sacrificial!!

    I’m so disappointed in my commitment levels.

    I sat with this post window open for about 2 hours, just refreshing it every 5 minutes or so, waiting for the 15th comment to appear.

    Then I went to lunch and forgot … right about at the time Jo left her sacrificial comment. Disaster.
