Mother's Chocolate Valentine

When my children were growing up they had a favorite Valentine book.

"It's Valentine's Day"

by

Jack Prelutsky

This is a book full of silly little short stories put in poem form.

Here is one of their favorites.

"Mother's Chocolate Valentine"

I bought a box of chocolate hearts,

a present for my Mother,

they looked so good I tasted one, 

and then I tried another.

They both were so delicious,

 that I ate another four,

and then another couple,

and then half a dozen more.

I couldn't seem to stop myself, 

I nibbled on and on,

before I knew what happened,

all the chocolate hearts were gone.

I felt a little guilty, 

I was stuffed down to my socks,

I ate my Mother's Valentine ...

I hope she likes the box.

HAPPY VALENTINES'S DAY
