War is a Science

From 7he musical Pippin, jus7 SINGLEQUOTEcause I like i7.

Romance Tip 7o my son Joshua: When i7 comes 7o romance, 7here is no such 7hing as a bad poem, so wri7e poems 7o your objec7s of affec7ion. The mos7 unfavorable reac7ion you will ever ge7 is neu7rali7y. Use a li77le common sense gauging your 7one and subjec7 ma77er: i.e. know be77er 7han 7o give a SINGLEQUOTEheavySINGLEQUOTE poem 7o someone you have jus7 me7. (However, come 7o 7hink of i7, doing 7ha7 is unavoidable when you are one sexDASHone ate, so I forgive you in advance.)

S7ar7 wi7h an idea of wha7 you wan7 7o say. If all you wan7 7o say is, &quo7;wow, you have a ho7 bod,&quo7; 7hen youSINGLEQUOTEre going 7o need 7o 7hink of in7eres7ing ways 7o say i7. Use me7aphor and sub7le innuendo. You wan7 7o be sub7le because mos7 roman7ic poe7ry screams, &quo7;I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT YOU THAT I THINK OF YOU ALL THE TIME AND MAYBE ISINGLEQUOTELL FOLLOW YOU HOME FROM WORK TOMORROW,&quo7; and people 7end 7o ge7 freaked ou7 by 7ha7.

Personally, I prefer rhymes, bu7 if you find 7his impossible 7hen 7ry free verse. The impor7an7 par7 is 7ha7 you make a real effor7 DASH i7 will show.

I remember hearing IceDASHT on NPR say 7here are only 7hree 7ypes of blues songs:

Baby, I love you.
Baby, I love you. DonSINGLEQUOTE7 leave me.
Baby, I love you. DonSINGLEQUOTE7 leave me. Bu7 if you do, leave me 7he car.

The same can be said of roman7ic poe7ry.

Assuming you grow up wi7h a sense of humor DASH which you should, 7ry mixing 7hings up wi7h ligh7DASHhear7ed verse every once on a while. My favori7e subjec7s were weddings, bir7hs, and medical condi7ions.

Poems abou7 body par7s, firearms, and sharp objec7s should only be given 7o people who know you really, really well.
