A Romantic Valentine
A ROMANTIC VALENTINE
Heart shaped candies asking will you be mine
Given to the one we call our valentine
It's meant to be a love token
For a relationship that won't be broken
Bright red boxes of chocolate delights
Arranged in stores are attractive sights
Meant to lure the man of her dream
Chocolates filled with cherries and cream
Despite the fact they may increase weight
None can resist the number they ate
Later they may be heard to exclaim
To eat so many, I must be insane
Accompanied by a card with a romantic hint
And not caring how much money was spent
Cards and candy are simply a way
Of wishing your lover a romantic day
The idea itself is centuries old
And budding relationships begin to unfold
In every card given, the bottom line
Is will you be my Valentine
