The following is a poem I wrote for the Bazaarvoice Valentine’s Day Poetry Contest 2010 which ultimately won second place.
I Love You More Than Socks: An Epic Love Poem
By Sparker, Age 24.
I love you more than I love socks
For you I would eat rocks
While you were eating steak
I love you more than I love shoes
I would need more than booze
If our love you did forsake
I love you more than Cheetos
Nothing really rhymes with Cheetos
I think because they're orange
I love you more than naps
And really cool bear traps
That I've seen on the TV
I love you more than outer space
And were you gone without a trace
Well, that would be the end to me
I love you more than peanut butter
Honey, I SWEAR, there isn't any other
Do you believe me now?

I mean. . .
Indeed it is so true, for me there's only you-
Here, I got you this ShamWow.
