Waxing Poetic for Valentine's

Valentine's Day

There is an art to this day of the heart

When paper and pen often meet,

When lovers extol from the depths of their soul

And there's chocolate, yes chocolate, to eat!

There is real reason for red rose season

When florists stand hours on their feet

When ribbons are tied and no flowers have died

And there's chocolate, sweet chocolate, to eat.

There is some sadness around the love madness

When a card or a kiss would be neat,

When they are a-lacking, the heart starts a-cracking, 

But there's chocolate, dear chocolate, to eat.

There is a healing at a wrapper now peeling,

When it's off, then your heart skips a beat

When you take that first bite, Oh! such delight,

There's chocolate, my chocolate, to eat.

There is a word that by needs must be heard

When the day is finally complete

When those happy or sad, stay seriously glad

Because there's chocolate, pure chocolate, to eat!
