A Rejected Valentine

A Rejected Valentine

Georgie, dressed up spick

and fine,

Presented himself as a valentine

To little Polly, who tossed her

head,

Turned up her nose, and pertly 

said:

"My goodness me! Why, don't 

you know

You're not a card, with a ribbon

bow,

You're just a boy-not a valen-

tine!"

Then George blushed and meekly

said:

"To you by Cupid I was led:

And my love for you, so very

true,

Is tied about by ribbon blue."

But Polly laughed in a teasing

way,

And said: "I'll bid you a good

day.

Some other girl may not decline

To take you as her valentine."
