beguiling Humor
Alas in love defeat comes so frequently to the young and far to infrequently to the old. Sigh.
I am wondering about the delightful twists your mind shows in your latest works. Utterly beguiling.
But "The Eagles" warned me about women like you....so should I heed?

Napoleon did everything on a grand scale. That's why Waterloo is synonymous with the ultimate defeat. Isn't it ironic that his one and only defeat on the field of battle just happen to be his last? Best of luck in the contest.
Sincerely,
Leo Long

Oh to take of a load and to do it so wryly. En garde! Take ze tongue out a ze cheek vemon!
So all relationships are made for the rocks hmmm? But at least we have fun?

A kiss might defeat us (or sweep us off our feet)
You not only tried, you did it well!
Short but with a clever wordplay.
Bedankt Myra en ik hoop dat alles is goed met jou

Love the wacky-ness and humor.

33 arsenic drips a day
that was his real Waterloo
poison
all real men get killed by kisses

This is cute, Myra And yes, you tried... and it worked.
I like this brief bit of humor. Poor Napoleon, he's going to be turning over in his grave after this contest
Good luck in the contest
