[hometext] => A couple of days back I saw the words 'The other monkey ate faster' and they inspired me to write a poem for my wonderful new girlfriend. That's all I'm saying really.
[bodytext] => The other monkey ate faster He ate my hopes and expectations He ate my illusions; the imaginary connection He bit through the wires and short-circuited the stars You said I didn’t love my ukulele Why would you even tell me? This puzzled me as I sat wide awake at 4am My brain leaked onto the computer screen All my deepest thoughts and impossible dreams Still you didn’t ignore me That’s why I sang you happy birthday That’s why you had to know I loved my ukulele You were behind my eyes yet I couldn’t show you Africa Now you’re in my soul but I can’t always be there for you I’m handing you the manuscript of the story of my life Correct the punctuation just don’t cast it aside For the sequel may be all about you [comments] => 1 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 2 [informant] => DaveXerox [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )
