But...but... :( :( *cries sadly*
....it doesn't even rhyme, and, it's not about disasters;-it's written in praise of the venerable plants!

You're just sore at me about the cucumber poem, aren't you? I guess you won't believe me if i say it wasn't directed at you. You think i can't have any loves besides yourself? ;)

My banana beats your cucumber.

Ouch. You're good with a whip. Poor cucumber. Some cucumbers might enjoy a beating, but this is a cool cucumber, not a hot one.

Lettuce see if you will be the first to join the cucumber to witness my artichoke or turnip your nose at my beetroot.

Your attempts to liquidize the fruits of my looniness are juice fruitless.

Really? Which page is this?

Does anyone know where to find the poem about anal sex? I swear it was in there , but I cant find it now- ( might be about vampires instead?) Please help - Thanks

"The Vampire" page 11 of the hardcover edition. Really by Octavio Paz and translated by Samuel Beckett (in the book, he says it's author is by a Rebolledo).
