There's a goofy melody that we used to use back ithe late '50's, but i can't think of the name of the song now.  Maybe you can figure it out from reading this spoof.  HVD, everyone! 

You are my Valentine
   You look like Frankenstein
You smell like turpentine
   Your lips like iodine

You wear size twenty-nine
   You mope around and whine
But I like you mighty fine
   You're all I've got ~ You're mine!

Hey, let's split up Valentine's Day poems. 1/2 of your sad one + 1/2 of my silly one, side-by-each, would make one of those great comic clown faces, don't you think?! Cheers, Gershon

Ah true love. Made me smile.
