Valentino Valentino Valentino <br /> <br />I hope you like the sound of that. Valentino - that’s my name, <br />I’m the cutest duck to roam this side of Bockmer Lane. <br />They say I’ve got the most handsome face, the prettiest of feet, <br />a waddle to die for and a body that’s hard to beat. <br />I don’t like motorcycles, planes or boats. <br />I can’t cook, sweep, read or tell funny jokes, <br />or wash dishes – but why would any duck want to do that? <br />And if someone wants to know why, I just say ‘QUACK’ <br />You’ll never see me wear ‘Bling’, <br />all of these are definitely not my thing. <br />I’m an Indian runner – of that I am proud <br />and when I get excited my quacks can be quite loud. <br />I’m King of the pond, a true gentleman of tall stature, <br />I wobble around quacking on things that do not matter. <br />Except today – St Valentine’s day <br />For the person who brought me here to you may have many faults, <br /> not least his attempts at telling awfully funny jokes, <br />but he will always try and make you smile, laugh, feel comfortable, safe and secure. <br />For it is you, and knowing you, the only one that he does adore. <br />So if you love him be kind and say – “will you be my Valentine forever and a day? ”. <br />Then stand back and pause awhile, <br />look at his face and watch him smile. <br />As he gently puts his arms around you, kisses you softly and ‘YES’ will come the reply. <br />If you see his eyes water and tear drops fall, <br /> it’s probably because you’re standing too close and on his feet – that’s all. <br />Happy Valentine day.<br /><br />JJ Evendon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/valentino-3/
