My Valentine
VALENTINE, OH VALENTINE,
SAY YOU’LL BE MINE.
YOU’RE SOMMER MY SUNSHINE, MY MOON AND STARS,
MY AIROMA AIR-FRESHENER FROM THE OLD OK BAZAARS;
MY PERFUMED LOVE-LETTER, MY BREEZE IN THE NIGHT,
MY COFFEE, MY CREAMER, MY BLITZ FIRELIGHT.
MY CRIME-STOP, MY TRACKER, YOU’RE MY AZT,
MY PAP, MY MIELIE-MEAL, MY NANDO’S FOR FREE;
MY LAMPCHOP, MY DEWDROP, MY PARTNER IN CRIME,
MY CHILLIE, MY PEPPER, MY VETKOEK SUBLIME.
THE LIST IS JUST ENDLESS AND THAT ISN’T ALL,
YOU’RE MY SWEEPSTAKE, MY JACKPOT, MY DOP AND MY ZOL.
I SMAAK YOU, MY POPPIE, SO MUCH MORE THAN MY WIFE,
‘CAUSE, BABE, YOU’RE THE KETCHUP ON THE SLAP CHIPS OF LIFE
[thanks dad]
