THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, AND THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE:

1. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you has screwed up my life.

2. I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.

3. Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.

4. Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,
But I only slept with you 'cause I was pissed.

5. I thought that I could love no other
-- that is until I met your brother...

6. 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.

7. I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face.

8. I love your smile, your face, and your eyes
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

9. My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

10. My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe 'Go to hell.'

11. What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.

WHO SAID POETRY IS BORING

It’s official - Rachel Hunter and her daughter Renee Stewart have been signed to global hair care brand Pantene in New Zealand and Australia.

Rachel Hunter, re-signed Pantene ambassador says; “I’m thrilled to be working with Pantene again. It was such a great campaign in the 90’s, and like the brand, I have continued to transform my hair over the years. Now I get the added bonus of sharing the experience with my beautiful daughter.”

The new Pantene venture will be 17-year-old Renee Stewart’s first professional assignment.

 “Mum and I have always been fans of Pantene, so I’m thrilled to be doing my first campaign for them,” says Stewart.
