[Solution] Couplets – 16 May 2022

This puzzle gives solvers a set of poems about lovers missing the names of the two people in each poem. Solvers must use the rhyme and meter of the poems to figure out the missing names. The completed poems are as follows:

Ever as the blazing forge turns,
So their love ran wild and crazy:
The inimitable GEORGE BURNS
Wishing his wife "Goodnight GRACIE."

Finding romance is a biggie - 
No one wants to be a hermit.
Thus the story of MISS PIGGY
And her greenish boyfriend KERMIT.

In a story far from measly
Like the golden snitch he caught her:
A young witch named GINNY WEASLEY
Met her husband HARRY POTTER.

In an alley dark and shady
Finding dinner like a champ
Sat a turned out noble LADY
Sharing pasta with a TRAMP.

It was met with some derision:
Can a robot form a bond? A
Perfect world was made for VISION
By the red magician WANDA.

This reporter got to her man
Faster than a speeding train.
That's the story of SUPERMAN
And his lover LOIS LANE.

Though he doesn't need a comb, her
Love for him is still quite large.
TV sitcom father HOMER
Loves his beehived soulmate MARGE.

Each of these names replaces a number in the given poem. The lovers can be placed on the blanks in number order – first TRAMP, then HOMER, etc. Once that is done, taking the nth letter of each answer, where n is the number under that blank spells out THE ANSWER IS WUV.
