Analysis of FEBRUARY FOURTEENTH



February Fourteenth is Valentine's Day
A canary with her sweetheart is singing lovely today
A heart-shape box with chocolate candy in mind
Give it to a lady that is always kind.

A dozen red roses for the love of mine
A bottle of champagne will make us feel fine
A frugal dinner for a candlelight dining
A convenient walk gazing at the starlight shining
All worth while in a subtle timing.

Remember Cupid on a day so fair
The thrust from his bow to arrow will fly through the air
Giving love to many hearts miles away
We shouldn't forget our love on Valentine's Day!
