IS MY VALENTINE AT THE ZOO?
Valentine,
valentine, who will you be?
A
yawning sloth that hangs from a tree, or a
Long-legged
giraffe with big brown eyes,
Elusive
elephant of enormous size,
Nattering
parrot or yackety yak,
Thirsty
camel with a hump on his back,
Itching
monkey, bumbling old bear,
Nosy
narwhale, or panda rare,
Earnest
emu who cannot fly,
'Smallest
chickadee in the sky, or
Dandy
kangaroo who bounds so high?
All
of these animals in the zoo
Yearn
to be mine...but I'd rather have you!
ROSES ARE RED
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Carnations are sweet
And so are you.
And so are they
That send you this
And when we meet
We'll have a kiss.
GOING STEADY
Valentine, O Valentine,
I'll be your love and
you'll be mine;
We'll care for each other,
rain or fine,
And in ninety years we'll
be ninety-nine.
PLENTY OF LOVE
Plenty of love,
Tons of kisses,
Hope some day
To be your Mrs.
MY LOVE IS LIKE A CABBAGE
My love is like a
cabbage
Divided into two,
The leaves I give to
others
But the heart I give
to you
LOVE AT SEA
Up through the fog
came the The Frisky Dog
With me amd my forty-man
crew.
We were tightly packed,
as a matter of fact,
For The Dog
is a bark canoe.
And the tides that ebb
in the middle of Feb.
Rolled in with a nasty
howl,
But the crew stood fast
to a two-foot mast-----
The flag was a paper
towel.
Then the pop-eyed cook
took a pop-eyed look,
And he saw what we came
to see:
The courtship swoon by
a midnight moon
Of an Octopus he and
she.
They kissed on the lips
and the slithery hips,
They kissed on the suction
cups.
And they bobbed in the
brine like a ball of twine
Till at last the bosun
ups
And he shouts, "I'm Dutch,
but I never saw such
Sweet love on Valentine's
Day!"
Then arm in arm...in
arm...in arm...
The Octopi swam away.
THE KANGAROO'S COURTSHIP
"Oh will you be my
wallaby?"
Asked Mr. Kangaroo.
"For we could find so
very many
Jumping things to do.
I have a pocket two feet
wide
And deep inside,
My dear, you'd ride---
Oh, come and be my bouncing
bride,
My Valentine, my side-by-side,
I am in love with you."
A GIRL'S VALENTINE CHARM
AS TOLD BY HERSELF
[FROM THE CONNOISSEUR,
1775]
LAST Friday was Valentine's
Day, and I'll tell you what I did the night before. I got five bay leaves,
and pinned four of them to the four corners of my pillow, and the fifth
to the middle; and then if I dreamt of my sweetheart, Betty said we would
be married before the year was out.
But to make it more sure,
I boiled an egg hard, and took out the yolk, and filled it with salt, and
when I went to bed ate it, shell and all, without speaking or drinking
after it.
We also wrote our lovers'
names upon bits of paper, and rolled them up in clay and put them into
water; and the first that rose up was to be our valentine. Would you think
it? Mr. Blossom was my man, and I lay abed and shut my eyes all the morning,
till he came to our house, for I would not have seen another man before
him for all the world.
