Notes About The Poem

February 6, 2026

"My Funny Valentine" Poetry Contest

Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich

Second Place

My Funny Valentine

The Valentine in my high school was he,
So gorgeous friends were envious of me...
Hopeless guy on the dance floor,
Embarrassed me to the core,
What a terrible joke it was to see !

He can't be as bad as my husband is hahaha. I kept asking Joe to dance but once he did it for me in the house, I was glad he never did it in private! Congratulations in my contest

Sara, I am not good at writing funny poems - but I like the form limerick. I tried my best here...the only awkwardness I could think of is the inability to dance. . Let's see how Andrea feels. Ha ha!

He must have been gorgeous in many ways, but needn't be a good dancer. It can be excused. Enjoyed your fun Limerick. All the best, dear Mala.
