A Funny Valentine

A Funny Valentine

by Frank H. Sweet

Did you ever find a valentine

Beside you in your bed

When you heard your papa saying:

"Wake up, my sleepy head!

Wake up, wake up! Your eyes will

shine

To see your funny valentine?"

Did you ever have a valentine, 

All soft and warm and sweet,

With a little rolly poly head

And mites of hand and feet,

Wrapped up in a flannel, oh, so tight,

And 'fraid of one wee bit of light?

Did you ever have a valentine

(My sakes, I want to laugh!)

So heavy that they said it weighed

Just nine pounds and a half,

Without a tooth to bite its bread

Nor any hair upon its head?

I had one just this morning,

And 'twas such a sweet surprise

To hear my papa saying,

"Wake up, dear sleepy eyes!"

That funny little valentine

Is mamma's baby- yours and mine!
