Valentine's Day

* These poems are a likeness, and more, of Kenn Nesbitt's Today I Got a Valentine...  (I changed/customized a few things in my version.)  I hope Kenn is not too upset - "imitation is the highest form of flattery" (Brian Molko).

Happy Valentine's Day Shelly!

Today I got a Valentine
From everyone but Shelly.
But that's alright...
I have always found her smelly.

She never trades her cookies.
She isn't good at catch.
She doesn't like the way I sing.
Her socks don't often match.

She doesn't run like I do,
And she'll have her hair in a mess.
She is something of a clutter bug,
Who thinks she always knows best.

She dots her "i"'s with little hearts.
She's always reading books.
Whenever I am around,
She gives me confusing looks.

But, oh my goodness, here comes Shelly,
And what is this I see?
It seems she has an extra special
Valentine for me.

It's big and red, and has the words
"I love you, let’s be well."
I have always said there is no one else,
I like as much as "Shell"!

And for Molly:

Today I got a Valentine
From everyone but Molly.
But that's alright...
She acts like a border collie.

She gets sick on all of her clothes,
And is a fuss to go to sleep.
She doesn't like the way I look.
She thinks I am a creep.

She screams at the tops of her lungs,
And she'll wiggle, dance, and squirm.
She doesn't carry a conversation,
It's unreal she came from my sperm!

I do all of her laundry.
It's quite a lot.
I have to wipe her nose at times,
When it is full of snot.

But, oh my goodness, here comes Molly,
And what is this I see?
It seems she has an extra special
Valentine for me.

It's big and red, and has the words
"I love you, let’s be jolly."
I have always said there is no one else,
I like as much as "Molly"!
