Tis Valentine so soon, <br />they mentioned it today <br />and pointed to the special cards, <br />three ninety-five, <br />a hint of chocolate <br />and lines to fill <br />with sweet and loving words. <br />Can I, so asked a lad <br />have more than one, <br />or would this be conceit, <br />you as the Postmaster <br />would be the one to know. <br />Of course, my boy <br />I let you have a dozen cards <br />for thirty, add the stamps <br />and you'll be out a fifty <br />and they'll swarm <br />like honeybees <br />who always find their way <br />back to the hive. <br />So give me FIVE <br />and let me know <br />come Monday morn'.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poly-valentine/
