A spelling test for Valentine
Love is a four-letter word
An Equal Opportunity engagement
With two lean consonants
And two voluptuous vowels
Its smile is longer than a mile
It tears deeper than the deepest ocean
It strides into a midnight room
And darkness bolts out of the nearest window
Its shout is a soft serenade
Its whisper a friendly waterfall
Bees show them the way
To their rarest honey
Soft and hard
Hard, then soft
A thousand thrills and frills

A million moans and magic murmurs
Sweet, oh how sweet
The summons of happy songs
Then sour and rudely rich
The tenor of the pensive interlude
So shoot that arrow, Cupid
Shoot it now, raw and rapid
In your crowded quiver
Resides our quenchless fever
