All You Need Is Gloves (Free verse) by -=DIABETES=-
Gloves, gloves, gloves. Gloves, gloves, gloves. Gloves, gloves, gloves. There's nothing you can feel that can't be felt Nothing you can smell that can't be smelt Nothing you can say but you can learn how to keep your hands warm It's easy! There's nothing you can bake that can't be baked Nothing you can rake that can't be raked Nothing you can do but you can learn how to keep your hands clean It's easy! All you need is gloves, all you need is gloves, All you need is gloves, gloves, gloves is all you need. Gloves, gloves, gloves. Gloves, gloves, gloves. Gloves, gloves, gloves. All you need is gloves, all you need is gloves, All you need is gloves, gloves, gloves is all you need. There's nothing you can sew that isn't sewn Nothing you can weave that isn't wov'n Nowhere you can be that isn't near a glove manufacturer It's easy! All you need is gloves, all you need is gloves, All you need is gloves, gloves, gloves is all you need. All you need is gloves (all together now) All you need is gloves (everybody) All you need is gloves, gloves, gloves is all you need.

No glove, no love. This needs some sex. I mean good, hard, 30 minute(because the hooker charges by the hour and it took about 25 minutes to get there) sex.

Seriously though, "manufacturer", just doesn't work with how I'm reading this. Not to mention the fact that I was a little bored, and hoping either more lewd, or better writing from a -=_=-, even minus the _.

Hey thanks for the feedback, lol. I tried thinking of an alternative for 'manufacturer', but in the end I just went on feeling. My biggest concern about this poeme is that the original was about love, which is a really important part of the human condition. Gloves are also really important, but they aren't as important as love. I'm concerned the piece might seem a bit shallow in comparison :( Have you got any suggestions?

Factory instead of 'manufacturer', and say fuck you to anyone who thinks there should be meaning behind this. We both know it's parody(I swear I've heard "All you need is love, love, love" somewhere, but I have a memory condition known as Chronic Herbtimers which makes me kind of forgetful). Any further modification should come from comparison to the original, and your own voice. Try a messed up Karaoke, and see what you think. Gloves are much more important than love. Would you rather your surgeon have love on his hands, or gloves? Love is a chemical, straight from the genitals. Only as important as we make it. Needless to say twits since the dawn of time, like myself, have made it seem pretty damn important. We're such bastards.

It's going to be the saddest thing in the world if you really only remember Dave Matthews' "All you need is love, love, love" from The Christmas Song and not "All you need is love" from the Beatles song.

How about I don't remember either of them. Never liked more than one or two Dave Matthews songs, and I was burnt out on the bettles by the time I was 10. I thought you should have kept the "have you read" comment. It was better and would have been more fun to respond to.

That comment still exists, on a Dovina poem where it belongs. There was one of those opening-two-reply-boxes-and-then-your-replies-inbreeding-into-some-deformed-megareply problems.

It should be "all you need ARE gloves", and "gloves ARE all you need". Apart from that, it's kind of catchy. In fact, I could even imagine it being set to some kind of pop tune and working as a lyric.

There's more to poetry than grammar you know. I need constructive critisism, not nitpicking. I like the idea about setting it to some kind of pop tune, though. Maybe something by the Beatles?

I disagree; keep it as 'IS' - going with the gramatically correct choice would completely throw off the Lennon cadence.

Actually, with rhythmic considerations in mind, maybe change it to 'A glove (sing) is all you need' not 'gloves is' (plural)

can i have gloves custom fitted to accomodate my massive pinky ring?

I think the scale should have halfs. I really want to vote this a 1.5, but i can't :.(..
