Valentines Day Cards That Didn'T Quite Make It

The chocolates are old the wine is cheap the flowers even make me weep I’d give you my heart you know that it’s true but I really wonder what you’d do with two all my love in one red rose if it ain’t enough stick it up your nose My dog and I we sought a tryst when we showed up your cat was pissed Oh Valentine, sweet Valentine you’d be my mate of soul if only you would let me teach you how to bowl. I know this card can’t say it all for I was late getting to the mall the candy melted the flowers wilted I showed up late you acted jilted I uttered truths I should have filtered so brace yourself try not to faint this card’s an order of restraint.
