My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my
heart

Hes great really but just

so stupid
He really is such a goof
though
But I love him

Your looks are laughable

Unphotographable
Yet youre my favorite work of
art

You are not the best

person I have seen but
you're my person

Is your figure less than greek

Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

Its okay Im not perfect

either

Dream

Cynical Surrender

Flatter
Implore
Realize

But you're so intellectual

But dont change a hair for me But I love who you are
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
You better not change
Each day is valentines day
I love you every day

Nuzzle

But dont change a hair for me

Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentines day
