A Proper Valentine

A picnic for two would be so quaint
And cards of sentiment are high on the rank
Expensive jewelry that sparkles the eye
To most girls is the biggest prize

Flowers are lovely
Balloons divine
Teddy bears cuddly
And dinner is fine
But if you really want to see me smile
There’s only one proper Valentine
Make it Dove dark chocolates…everytime!

For me it is those round nuggets wrapped in gold that for the life of me I cannot remember the name of right now. A very cute poem - I enjoyed the read that ended with my grin and a desire for my fav food group - chocolate! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I almost put a note at the end of this one that this one was for you! haha :0 I remember some comments before with you about Doves...truth be known I'll eat most kinds of dark chocolate, but Dove is definitely the best :) Have great Valentines Day Andrea C.H.
