Do you recall a valentine poem from childhood to share?

Roses are red, violets are blue, your hair is nice, smells like Elmer's glue.

2. I thought of the same one except for the end, ConansOw. I only new the traditional version when I was a child. Now for Halloween, My grandsons say, "trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat" Wishing a happy Valentines day to you and your wife.

4. I can't think of any other than the oldest one we all seem to remember. And yet, I don't think I ever received a valentine from anyone with that standard cliche. Some had a play on words, and they were supposed to make us laugh. Such as "I think you are 'berry' nice, will you be my valentine?" And it would have a picture of someone eating berries. Or there would be a horse, and the text, "I"m not 'horsen' around. Won't yu be my valentine?" We would buy this type by the bag and type the kids names on them in our classroom. Some of us taped a candy heart on the card, for a treat. With some tiny saying on them, to make them special. We all looked forward to that special day in grade school. We'd have a contest as to the prettiest decorated Valentines' Day box, before the big day came. When our kids were in school, they were given a list of all the kids, so they wouldn't forget a single child. But when I was in school, we gave only to those we wanted to.

6. I'm too old to remember one, but in honor of Valentine;s Day, I'll put a pen, or a keyboard to the screen. "A day for friends and lovers with cards, candy and flowers Keeps Jackie Blue sweet and lovey, at for least 24 hours." The end
7. I tell this one to my husband. I get a bang out of watching him cringe. It's true, my sweet, not idle rumor My love for you is like a tumor. Stop shakin' yer head, Quit rollin' them eyes, You know I'm gonna love ya til you dies.
