Alright, so I heard about this and I thought we could do with something new to do. Here is how you play:
Start with a rhyme with the most romantic first line... but the least romantic second line.. For example:
I thought that I could love no other
Until, that is, I met your brother.
Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and
so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the
sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.
Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face
I did NOT write those, they were in the Washington Post!
So let's see your LOVE/HATE sides!
Love and Hate

With sincere apologies to Robert Burns
"O, my love is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June.
O, my Love is like the melody,
That's sweetly played in tune.
But my love for you is like a dog turd
Into which you laid your head
Face it jerk, it's like King Tut
My love for you is dead."

Off the top of my head...
You’re love is like a gentle rain cascading on my heart
Then the floodgates open and it tears my world apart
A single kiss from your sweet lips is nothing short of treasure
If I only I could bury it too deep for men to measure
Words alone cannot express this love within my heart
Or the cheap, conniving way that you’ve honed hatred to an art
With tender grace, an angel’s hands flow smoothly ‘cross my skin
They tenderly embrace me as she drives the dagger in
You’re love is like a gentle rain cascading on my heart
Then the floodgates open and it tears my world apart
A single kiss from your sweet lips is nothing short of treasure
If I only I could bury it too deep for men to measure
Words alone cannot express this love within my heart
Or the cheap, conniving way that you’ve honed hatred to an art
With tender grace, an angel’s hands flow smoothly ‘cross my skin
They tenderly embrace me as she drives the dagger in

Here's one I wish I could take credit for, but it was actually written by Shel Silverstein. It's called "Blue Eyes."
Boy: I see you're all along sittin' in the bar.
Can I sit down beside ya, Blue Eyes?
Girl: Well, you see my boyfriend just went into the wash room
And he'll be right back
And he's seven feet tall
And he always carries a gun.
Boy: Oh! Well, if I beat up your boyfriend
And I take away his gun
And I sit down beside ya,
Can I buy you a drink, Blue Eyes?
Girl: I'm drinking Piper Heidsick champagne
That costs thirty-five dollars a bottle.
Boy: Oh! Well, if I beat up your boyfriend
And I take away his gun
And I sit down beside ya
And I buy ya a bottle of thirty-five dollar Piper Heidsick champagne,
Can I drive ya home, Blue Eyes?
Girl: I live in Philadelphia.
Boy: Oh! Well, if I beat up your boyfriend
And I take away his gun
And I sit down beside ya
And I buy ya a bottle of thirty-five dollar Piper Heidsick champagne,
And I drive you to Philadelphia,
Can I walk you to the door, Blue Eyes?
Girl: There's a big moat around my house
And it's full of crocodiles and alligators
And there's a terrible undertow.
Boy: Oh! Well, if I swim across the moat
And I avoid the crocodiles and the alligators
And I don't get sunk by the undertow,
Will you ask me to come in, Blue Eyes?
Girl: Well, you see...
It's very late
And my mother is probably waiting up for me
And I think she washed the floor
And it's covered with newspapers
And besides, we got this big dog that
Whenever a stranger comes in,
He starts to bark and bites you,
And my father's worried about paying off the mortgage on the house
Which cost five thousand, three hundred twenty-two dollars
And it's very late
And I've got to wash my hair
And I have to get up early for work.
Boy: You really don't want me to take you home, do ya?
Girl: Well, you see it's very late
And my mother's probably waiting up for me.
Boy: You see, you don't really want me to take you home.
Girl: Well, you see it's very late.
Boy: You don't really like me, do ya?
You really don't care about me.
Girl: Well, you see it's very late.
Boy: Never mind! Forget it!

When our eyes met we both knew, we'd never get enough,
But now your gone and I just wish, you'd give back half my stuff!
