In Anticipation Of Valentine's Day Poem by Etienne Charilaou
In Anticipation Of Valentine's Day
Oh, is there not one fellow here,
whose homely purse and lack of direction,
have caused all hope to disappear
of ever winning woman's affection?
The foolish festival of love draws near
bringing with it the hope and wish
that someone dear thinks you're a dish,
that love's red dart will hit that heart,
and blazing love will have its start.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Oh, is there not one maiden here
Whose homely face and bad complexion,
Have caused all hope to disappear
Of ever winning man's affection?
