Welcome to the LoveMaker! (v3.1 Erosoft Industries, (c) 1993)
At the prompt, please enter your response.
I am the LOVEMAKER. A personalized, interactive poetry assistance
program. What is your name?
>JOHN
What a nice name, JOHN. You must be a man.
>YES
How nice for you. Who is your poem for, JOHN?
>SHEILA
How nice for SHEILA. She must be a woman?
>YES
SHEILA must be very special to you, JOHN. Is she?
>YES
What is the occasion, JOHN?
>VALENTINE'S DAY
SHEILA is a very lucky woman. I will need information about SHEILA
for a poem that best reflects your deep feelings for her, JOHN.
What color are her eyes?
>BLUE
Thank you, JOHN. But could you be more specific? Are they blue
like the sky after a clearing storm? Are they the icy blue of the
far flung fjords, shrouded in mist and mystery?
Are they the steely blue of Walter Gropius's later Bauhaus
sketchbooks? Are they a cornflower blue that speaks of Sunday
picnics in simpler times?
>THEY LOOK KIND OF GRAY WHEN SHE'S ANGRY
Thank you, JOHN. What about SHEILA'S hair?
>BLOND
Thank you, JOHN. But could you be more specific? Is it ash blond
with some auburn like the silky tresses of Rapunzel?
When the sun hits it in a certain way in the late afternoon does it
look like spun gold? Is it the hard, cheap blond of the streetwise
trollop or the dazzling, brilliant satin of Renaissance cherubim?
>I THINK SHE DYES IT
Thank you, JOHN. Are there any other characteristics we should
mention in our poem to SHEILA?
>
>
>
JOHN, are you still there?
>SKIN?
Thank you, JOHN. But could you be more specific? Is it fine and
alabaster and tightly grained like antique porcelain, slow-fired by
master craftsmen? Or is it pink and lustrous like the hand-burnished
silver one's Grandmother might be found polishing with gentle,
loving strokes on a rainy Sunday afternoon?
>SHE TANS TWICE A WEEK
SHEILA must be very special to you, JOHN. You must have deep
feelings for SHEILA to write her a special VALENTINE'S DAY poem.
>YES
How nice for you, JOHN. What kind of poem do you think SHEILA would
like?
>?

JOHN?
>I'M THINKING
May I make a suggestion, JOHN?
>SURE
Perhaps you imagine yourself a hopeless romantic, JOHN. A man who
lives and loves with passion and desire and appetite. A man who
grabs great platters from the groaning board of this world and eats
his fill. A man who takes what he wants the moment he sees it and
makes it his own. A man who kneads fate in his strong hands, shapes
it and commands it. A man with a reckless bent and the courage of
fire. A man who sees beauty in a raindrop and all the truth of the
universe in the eyes of a child. A man with needs and wants aflame
within him. A man of power and means of influence, JOHN. A man
destined to be the envy of other men. A man that few can ever
understand and fewer still will have the guts to love. A man of whom
it might be said...
Would that Alexander in his age had but half the measure of his
strong stout heart or clear hawk's eyes undimmed and true, pooled
with azure purpose. No earthbound mortal he, but master o'er each
and all...
Would this describe your self-image accurately, JOHN?
>YES
I thought so. I'll use my random SEARCH MODE (Alt+S) to choose an
appropriate style for you, JOHN. One that truly expresses your
deep feelings for SHEILA on VALENTINE'S DAY.
Please wait...

>Alt+P
Dear SHEILA,
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your hair is blond
and your eyes are gray (when angry)
JOHN
