Well, a little surgery on my Valentine of last week.

Funny Valentine

My love is like a bleeding heart
By Cupid's arrow fractured.
'It's clear,' I told the quack,'the part
Was badly manufactured.'

The honest sawbones sighed, 'Too true,'
And fitted a replacement.
Alas, another arrow flew
In at the open casement.

O Venus you have done me wrong,
Sweet Lady of the seaside!
I've heard too long your tedious song.
Now play to me the B side.

You say a love-free life lacks joy,
A church without a steeple.
Desist. And keep your little boy
From shooting stuff at people.
