THE POETRY CONTEST

You’ve been chosen and it’s your lucky day!

You’ve won our latest contest hooray!

You are now among the best of the best

And, here’s how you can out shine the rest

We’ve chosen your poem to go into

A book we’ve created for you

It will have your poem in a nice place

If you send a pic, we’ll show your face!

The book is made of the finest leather

But, still remains light as a feather

You can show your friends and brag about it

You won a contest no doubt about it

Wanna know when you’ll get your poem book?

Bet you’re excited to take a look

Just mail us 60 bucks and we’ll send it

It’s a pretty good scam.. it’n it?

Valentine! Oh! Valentine!

I’ve loved you from afar!

Or, wish that you wuz .. gone!

’Tis a romantic yarn

See ya on Valentine’s Day

Behind farmer Brown’s … house!

SPRING IN FEBRUARY

You embarrass me sweet bird of spring!

I have no right to see you!

There’s feet of snow in the northern states

They don’t know what to do!

But, there you sit outside my window

Singing away the chill

While I sit here smiling and thinking

Of Punxsutawney Phil!

Looks like you two know all about it

You hardly need a map

You’re telling those of us in the south

We’ve seen our last cold snap!

It’s February and time for spring?

I’ll take you for your word

For me to argue with you and Phil

Would be very absurd!

Sing on sweet robin out my window

I’m drinking it all in

Wishing everyone could feel the warmth

You share with me my friend!
