Chocolate Covered Valentine
Pretty pink envelope in Georgie's dirty little hand
Thumbprints smudged over her name
"Susie Lou"
Thought bubble above his head floats daydream
"I love you"
Shyly he hands the card to little miss
Dumbfounded by her blue eyes, freckles, and purple rubber bands
She flutters her lashes and squeals
"For me?"
He stammers and stutters and thinks
"Oh, I have to pee!"
His little ears flush turning red as a beet
As she opens a dainty little purse
He picks at his seat
She pulls out a card all trimmed in blue
Then pecks him on the cheek
"This one's for you"
His eyes cross and he clacks his knees
But before the purse snaps shut
He see's
Four more little cards all in a row
Noticing she shrugs and boldly states
These are for Jimmy, Joey, Billy and Bo
The top of his head explodes into flames
He gapes open mouthed as little skirt skips away
He watches her pig-tail bounce up and down
And he sniffs the little card
"Yuck, perfume" inducing a frown
He stomps away folding the card
Into his pocket it goes
Settling into a deep warm mush
Frowning he wonders
"What is it...who knows?"
He pulls it back out to examine the cause
And finds his Valentine
Covered in chocolate
He whiffs it again and grins
Now it smells just fine
From the waist of his trousers Georgie pulls out another card
And skips on his way to carry
The next of his remaining four
This one is for Mary
