Valentine's Day

My Valentine's Day was complete! I may be single, but I still received a love poem!
Or rather, a poem written by a man!

A little background before you read the masterpiece. My roommate almost burned our house down when she fell asleep cooking potatoes. Our house now smells like a casino and it's been two days. So now I eat, sleep, study, and relax in my bedroom, which is a little less smelly.  But when we leave the house, we smell terribly. The day after the fire we all received many looks/comments on the stench.  So I was still a little self-concious yesterday morning and was whining a bit. Here's what my sweet coworker wrote me:

Rose are red,
Violets are blue,
I wrote this poem,
Just for you.

It seems tragic,
The room all smokey,
The potatoes burned,
Now you smell so very hokey.

But it's ok,
I have smelled much worse,
Although it's close,
To other scents with which I've been immersed. 

It doesn't matter though,
You are kind, cute and polite,
A wonderful woman,
You make work an absolute delight!

So don't worry,
When life isn't how you intend,
Even when you stink,
I'll still be your friend.

Isn't that so funny? I loved it!

  3. That is just adorable. Was it Derek? It sounds just like a Derek thing to do, ha ha ha ha ha. In all seriousness, if you want to come over some time and wash all your clothes and take a few showers or something let me know. Bryan and I still have an outback steak house gift card we'd like to use some time.

  5. That is so nice that you actually have a cool co-worker. It was sounding like they were all kind of annoying. If you need to wash your clothes you are more than welcome to come up here and do it. Bryan and I still have a outback steak house gift card that we would like to use sometime.
