Valentine Mad

Without looking for love
I entered the day
The day that Valentine
kept our way

When others would find him
too ugly to be
For type that we wanted
as not for see

That only as title
was Vatican had
When claimed by his fortune
as making us mad


History:  I should mention that St. Valentine was chosen by the Catholic Church and that the people rejected him for his unappealing manor and looks and offered up another choice man for the position that the Vatican rejected.
