4 Modern Valentine

This. received the last of May.
Done up in business style.
My JOY most overcame me,
They heard my shouts a mile.
| 1t said. Dear Sir, much regret
Your offer / can't take.
1t doesn't seem quite practical,
A trade We cannot make.
Il much prefer, If you should ask.
To your most lowly home.
| A place in business where I can make
A living all my own"
Now tho'ts of love may be all right,
But now they're quite taboo;
A career is really preferable,
To darning socks for YOU"
I've lost my faith, in Valentines day,
My skies aren't quite so blue.
! Since my Valentine has told me
The old time loves taboo.
