I was going through my desk tonight when I happened upon my copies of "Idle Ramblings" the book of poems and short stories that I helped produce annually during high school. In the issue from my freshman year, I happened upon some goofy U2 poetry I had written! I can't believe they even published this stuff!! I was such a crazily infatuated teenager!!!
*lol* My obsession back then is kind of embarrassing, actually...but here goes!
The first one I wrote on Larry's 35th birthday!
~~~~
On October 31st, no one is sullen,
For that is the birthday of Larry Mullen
This sexy man was born in '61,
Today is a day for all to have fun
"Who is Larry?" you all ask,
Explaining is my favorite task
He's the hot drummer for U2,
One blonde stud, that is true
I watch his bulging biceps when he starts to drum,
He leaves my body feeling oh so numb
Ever since I found out he had been created,
I've been extremely infatuated
So that is the hot hunk that we call Larry,
Who says that Halloween has to be scary?!
~~~~
(This one is just a rambling about how wonderful Bono is...God, I was REALLY obsessed back then!!!)
Bono has eyes of a sparkling blue,
They are such a gorgeous hue
He's hot in color or black and white,
Without him, nothing is right
He is the God of Rock & Roll,
He's even done blues and a bit of soul
His Irish accent turns me on,
From the dusk of night to the break of dawn
He has my heart, and he always will,
Even when I'm old, I'll love him still
I love his skin, it is so pale,
My love will continue to prevail
He is such a perfect guy,
Without him, I think I'd die
He hangs out with Adam, Edge, and Larry,
Without him, life would be scary
My friends say he's too old for me,
But they're speaking out of jealousy
~~~~
(I wrote this in anticipation for PopMart...I get a little psycho in this one too...*lol*)
Pretty soon I'll be Madison bound,
And four hot guys will soon be found
They will be a sight to see,
From where I sit in row 43
Adam, Bono, Edge, and Larry,
Which one will I choose to marry?
Bono is the sexiest Irish dude,
With a humble attitude
But Edge is wise beyond his years,
He's brave and will conquer all my fears
But Adam is cultured and loves to go out,
He knows what partying is all about
Then again, Larry is a biker guy,
He and his Harley can practically fly
Deciding sure isn't much fun,
How can I pick only one?
It sure would be a ball,
If I could have them all
I can't decide at this point in my life,
But someday one will have me for his wife
~~~~
(Another psychotic ode to Bono
)
Bono is a man that is fine,
Someday I hope that he'll be mine
When I saw him, his hair was no longer black,
I wish he'd grow his ponytail back
I say it's love, my friends say it's lust,
But I caught them watching his pelvis thrust
We were made for each other like Barbie and Ken,
He is the manliest of the manly men
My parents thought it was a phase,
But there's no stopping this Bono-craze
He's such a stud in his tight, green shirt,
I love him so much it's starting to hurt
I saw him dance with a girl, it made me cry,
There's one chick that's gonna die
For no one can touch my man,
Or I'll stuff you in a garbage can
When he sings a song, my heart will soar
I've never felt like this before
