Me And Rachel
Being the humble type, the last thing I'd do is mention that over on The Maddow Blog a few days ago they called for limericks to be submitted after a county clerk in Limerick PA took it upon himself to start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Brave guy, since it's still against the law there.
They got well over a hundred entries. Couple days later they had a post that listed a handful of their favorites. Not that I'm the sort to provide a link.

Afterthought, 7/30: never satisfied with anything, it's occurred to me that I should have played on "wed" instead of "love," since that was what it was about. Shoulda gone like this:
There's good news if living in Penn
Sylvania if you are men
Or women who'd wed
Each other instead
Of opposite sex: now you can.
