Winter Valentine

Winter Valentine
by Paul J. Willis

When I have the flu,
     will you,
my Valentine,
     make chicken stew?

Or when I say achoo!
     will you,
my Valentine,
     leave for Peru?

When I don’t have a clue,
     will you,
my Valentine,
     provide a few?

Oh do and don’t and do!
     For you,
O Valentine,
     are my one true,

true love. I hope anew
     that you,
my Valentine,
     may never rue

the day I say I do
     to you,
my Valentine.
     Oh say it too.
