Valentine Exchange

a limerick

No longer sweehearts, but I need a gift.
For just a day can we forego our rift?
You get me a puppy dog;
I'll buy you a marble frog.
On Valentine morn, exchange will be swift.

I'll treasure the frog, hand-picked and hand made;
you'll dote on your puppy without charade.
The gifts are no bother
we'll share with each other.
Just be glad, I didn't choose a grenade.

hahaha, I love that ending. All the wishful thinking out the door. Just get a grenade and blow the guy up!!!(was this for Linda's contest? In case it was, you have to sign it and give the contest title at the top of it). It really should be in the contest!
