How Sweet Is Love? by James Aitchison

Roses are red, violets are blue,

but flowers aren’t sweet enough!

Only cannoli will win my heart —

forget the usual stuff!

Cannoli are creamy,

A yummy bouquet,

the perfect gift

on Valentine’s Day.

I should have sent some flowers,

I should have sent a card,

but then I got so busy

and it was all too hard!

So I cut some nice red roses

at next door’s in the dark,

and added lots of other things

growing in the park.

It made a lovely gift

and didn’t cost a cent.

Isn’t it the thought that counts

and not how much I spent?
