Valentine's Day Poems - 2
By: Tippy & Alfred
Veggie Valentine
You may not "carrot" all for me
The way I care for you.
You may "turnip" your nose
When I plead with you
But if your "heart" should "beet" with mine
Forever "lettuce" hope
There is no reason in the world
Why we two "Cantaloupe."
--Author Unknown

Conversation Hearts
Such meek
Little tokens
Sugary white,
Shy green, prom
Yellow and pink.
But spiced with
Mottoes: SURE
THING, OH BOY---
Each one like
A reckless wink.
--Valerie Worth

Valentine Chocolates
Ordinary candy,
Perhaps--but
Boxed in a ruby
Heart, it grows
Exotic, mysterious;
Not to mention
The red cellophane
Wrapper, which
Looked through,
Shows a marvelous
Scarlet world.
--Valerie Worth

He Sent His Love a Valentine
He sent his love a Valentine;
His love did not reply.
We never dare to care to sign
These things, I wonder why.
--David McCord

Valentine
If all the whole world's taxicabs
Came running to my call,
I'd park right by your door and honk
In the handsomest cab of all.
We'd drive to Spain, Maine or Spokane!
Could anything be sweeter
Than ticking off a million miles
Upon a metal meter?
--X. J. Kennedy

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."
--Jane Yolen
