Came into my life today

And brought with it joy.

Love is not that great!

Breaks hearts, makes grown people cry,

Valentine's Day -- Bah!

Limerick:  See page 205 in Write Source 2000.

There once was a fellow named Bart

Who was too quick to give up his heart.

Each girl that he'd woo

Said "I don't like you!"

And Bart's heart just broke into parts!
