Valentine's One Through Nine by Ellen P. Rainwater

Valentine Number Nine visited my mail box

today

he spoke no words but had a lot to say.

A box of chocolates he carried in his pocket

in the other a stunning silver locket.

Valentine Number's eight, seven, six, and

five

gave me a card, they didn't even try.

Valentine Number Four,

now he is one you can adore.

Number Three was a site to see,

flowers by his side, on his head was a bee.

Number Two,

He was late for he had the flu.

Valentine Number One,

You were the first to show your love, so you

have won.

All Valentine's One through Nine,

Only Number One can be mine.
