MAXINE ON SATURDAY

SAINT MAXINE!

Valentine's Day is not, I find,

For one, like you, who speaks her mind.

I'd always try not to 'speak ill'

But then I'd add a codicil!

*

'Yes, I suppose you're pretty nice;

I bet you got this ring half-price.'

*

'Yes, I suppose I love you lots,

But not with all those acne spots!'

 *

'Yes, I suppose I do adore you,

But I loved Henry long before you!'

 *

'Yes, the flowers were quite divine,

But I'd rather have some good red wine.'

*

'Yes, I've given you my heart,

But you're not having any other part!'

 *

'Yes, you are my Valentine,

But sometimes you're a perfect swine.'

*

'Yes, I know we're a perfect couple;

At least, we were when you were supple!'

*

'Alright! I'll love you till I die!

(But I really can't imagine why!')

*

Dear Saint Maxine, on this date

Let you and I just celebrate

By speaking our minds as we always do!

Maxine! Yes! I really love you!

*
