Valentine Hearts
The old silphium plant,
Found in ancient Cyrene,
Had some qualities Google
Brought up on my screen.
Seems its seed pod was used
To increase certain pleasures
And was thereby considered
Among Nature’s treasures.
Now this seed pod was shaped
Like a Valentine heart
And that may be how
Valentine’s Day got its start.
Or perhaps that’s a tale
Or an out-and-out lie,
Manufactured and shown
By some sneaky A.I.
But no matter the origin,
Hope your heart’s full,
Regardless of if
You believe in this bull.
