"My Funny Valentine"....

"Youre my Funny Valentine...



Sweet Comic Valentine...."




Behold the way our fine feathered friend,
His virtue doth parade
Thou knowest not, my dim-witted friend
The picture thou hast made
Thy vacant brow, and thy tousled hair
Conceal thy good intent
Thou noble upright truthful sincere,
And slightly dopey gent






Youre my funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable,
Yet, you're my favorite work of art.





Is your figure less than greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?




But, don't change a hair for me.
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is valentines day!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

  3. Dear Karin

    Happy Valentine's Day. I love Chet Baker, thanks for posting this.
    I smiled when I read, "is your figure less than Greek". Must I answer this?
    Now that lent is here, perhaps some fasting is in order.

  7. It's been a busy winter-into-spring for some reason, so it's only now that I've woken up, and am smelling the gorgeous roses.
    An especially meaningful post, because this is perhaps my husband's favorite song!
