A real verse from a real Valentine card sent by a real poet to a real beloved...

My Love is like a sad old lag
That’s newly sprung from jail
My love is like jiffy bag
Recycled in the mail
But still for you, my bonny lad
They hold what’s tried and true
Though both have weathered good and bad
They still do what they do.

The one is tentative and slow
The other slack and battered
But both have many miles to go
And hold what’s always mattered
And still for you, my bonny lad
My love is tried and true
And though it’s weathered good and bad
It’s always here for you.
