Valentine, valentine, why do you mock?
Twenty four hours seems like an epoch.
I am considering seeing my doc.
Alas, perhaps I will listen to Bach.

Valentine’s day has me in a headlock
here in the morning at seven o’clock.
The love of my life decided to walk.
There goes a gaggle of geese--what a flock!

So now I sit with my heart like a rock.
Maybe I’ll go out and fish on the dock.
Or catch a plane and fly off to Bangkok,
because Valentine’s Day is a big crock.
