The Top 9 Geek Valentine’s Day Poems


9> I gaze into your eyes my dear / My gaze would wander lower / But it can’t, because, my love / My modem couldn’t be much slower.

8> My friends all laughed / When I told them that one day you’d be mine / You’re shapely, elegant, sexy / Your body is so fine / You’re my heart’s lifelong desire / Now that I own you, my world rocks / Nothing will ever take me away from you / My own beautiful Xbox!

7> Roses are flowers / I think violets are too / But I haven’t left my house / Since 1982

6> How do I love thee? For only $19.95 per month, Visa, Mastercard and AmEx accepted! Click for free preview!

5> Since I first saw you I could not sleep / My days grow restless, my love is deep / My touch is gentle and my heart is soft / Will you marry me, Lara Croft?

4> R0z3z r R3d/V10L3Tz r BL00/3v3n 1F 1 H4D a GRRRL/I w00dn’T N0 Wh4T 2 D0!

3> Roses are red / Violets are blue / I’ll be able to stay up all night / As soon as I mainline this Mountain Dew

2> Though a thousand miles lie between us / I hope I don’t seem crass / When I ask you again, my love: / Do you take credit cards, PayPal or cash?

and the Number 1 Geek Valentine’s Day Poem…

1> Roses are red / Violets are blue / Open source is nicer than / Open sores I got from you
