My funny Valentine

Sweet comic Valentine

You make me smile with my heart

Your looks are laughable

Unphotographable

Yet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek?

Is your mouth a little weak

When you open it to speak?

Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me

Not if you care for me

Stay little Valentine stay

Each day is Valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek?

Is your mouth a little weak

When you open it to speak?

Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me

Not if you care for me

Stay little Valentine stay

Each day is Valentine's day

And when you turn away

Just to hide what you feel

I still see the page

That you fold to stay sealed

You fumble your coffee

Like it’s part of a dance

And pretend that your stories

Don’t ask for a chance

But I know how you shift

When you’re trying too hard

How your silence gets louder

Than a poet’s whole yard

So breathe like you mean it

Let your shadow be mine

You’re the verse I keep humming

Past the end of the line

Stay

Funny Valentine
