Valentines

 Valentine's Day

And before you gift me,
buy a box of chocolates.
Many things I appreciate:
Flowers, perfume, and such.
Yet, nothing's good on my plate,
Unless you give me
      chocolates.

There's Godiva, Russell Stover,
Lindt, Hershey, Ferrero Rocher...
Lots to choose but not kosher.
There're dark, caramel, and milk.
But unless you give me chocolates
any other gift is just mediocre.

I won't be pleased with wine
when you bring me out to dine,
flowers in a vase can sit
center table set so fine.
But nothing is acceptable,
unless you give me
    chocolates.
