Cheap Valentine

He took an old miser's advice
and bought her a card at half price -
it looked  old and worn,
the envelope torn,
and the picture was nibbled by mice.

Hey the Dollar Tree has some really nice cards for only 55 cents (or extra nice for $1!) :D They're not even old like that, just inexpensive.
