Cupid's Twisted Arrow

I gave you red roses,
I wrote you beautiful notes,
I read you romantic stories
and love poems with blushy quotes

I tried my best to keep you,
I thought I knew what to do,
but you left me sweet lady
for a "man" you call Sue?

I never saw it coming,
but I gave you my best;
now you and Sue can share
Valentine kisses and all the rest

My Valentine card ends
with a question just for you,
"Who leads when you dance,
is it you or is it Sue?"



Happy Valentine's Day!
