72 Miles From The Sea

Saturday, 13 February 2021

Lover, you still do it for me,
Though you are no longer a dolly chick
Your qualities are plain to see
You still scratch my itch and flick my switch

Since entering my life, a symphony plays

When before was only monotone

And colour now lives in every plane and facet

Where once was only monochrome

Lover you still do it for me,

I’m as ever under your spell

Your qualities are plain to see

And you still ring my bell

On Valentine’s Day

The near-sighted porcupine

Fell in love with a pin cushion!

And the elephant said to his girlfriend

“I love you a ton!”

On Valentine’s Day

One pickle said to the other

“Your love means a great dill”

Even skunks celebrate Valentine's Day

Because they're very scent-imental!

You fill my thoughts before I sleep

And you’re there again when I awake

I have given my heart without regret

I gave it to you for my heart’s sake

I have found an all-embracing love

If I lost you my heart would break

Roses are Red

But slightly cliché

So, I’ll just say

Happy Valentine’s Day
