Valentine's Day?

Anyone remember Rudolph Valentino?  Well, if you want to know anything about this guy, guess you could Google him.  In the mean time, maybe you might think along with me that our February fourteenths might have a bit to do with him.  Below is a little poem that I wrote to use today.  Will put it to a tune sometime soon.  Anyone want to know what it's called?  Take a look, then take a guess!

 

Vee-Dee, Vee-Dee, Everybody loves Vee-Dee.

Vee-Dee, Vee-Dee, Vee-Dee for you and me.

Vee-Dee, Vee-Dee, It's surely that time of year,

Valentine's Day, February one-four, brings us all good cheer!

 

A time for love, a time for hate, a time for everything,

Even at that, as we all know, some things bring little gain.

In any case, again we all know, to receive you first must sow,

And sow we did, and VeeDee did give a day of love to flow.

 

So, say what you will, darling Jane, sweet Bill, and enjoy that roll in the hay,

Make love if you wish, tis a special, special dish, that's love's old special way.

One thing that we know, be it fast, be it slow, one can keep an eye to the sky,

And when it's all done, both say “that was fun,” and we all know how and why.

 

Vee-Dee, Vee-Dee, Everybody loves Vee-Dee.

Vee-Dee, Vee-Dee, Vee-Dee for you and me.

Vee-Dee, Vee-Dee, It's surely that time of year,

Valentine's Day, February one-four, brings us all good cheer!

 

And that's it, my friend!  Published first this day, the fourteenth day in February, 2021.  Hope it is something you might say, "that just makes my day!"  and gives you thoughts of when you were young (and fun loving) dear daughter, proud son?   

Oh, well, guess now is the time to get out the old guitar and put it to music.  Should go well, don't you think? 

Have a happy, happy Valentine's Day, all!

And, if your guess wasn't "Valentine's Day, V-D, of course," then you were wrong!

And, as a footnote, one friend of mine thought VD referred to something nobody wants to have...and, well, he's right, to a degree!  If anyone thought I was referring to some sort of disease here, well, why do you suppose anyone would do that?  Valentines Day is what this is about--VD, short for Valentine's Day!  OK?
