Years ago, for Valentine’s Day, myself and my friends would buy a Valentine card for that special someone and fill it with Valentine verses. Â We would write them in our most anonymous writing so there was an element of mystery to it. Â Then we would get up really early – before dawn – and deliver the cards by posting them directly into our chosen one’s letterbox! Â There was the added thrill of the risk of being caught or found out and the Valentine verses were just great.
This is the first year that I have designed Valentine cards and I decided to include some of the long forgotten verses. Â Some of them weren’t a bit suitable and some were downright insulting – like this one:
You think you look like Elvis
You think you talk like him too
But when it comes to kissing
You taste like Irish Stew!
The one I liked the best is the one featured here …
If I was a cabbage
I’d divide myself in two
The leaves I’d give to others
The heart I’d give to you.
I hope you enjoy these Valentine cards, if you have more verses I’d love to hear from you.
Go on, spread the love!
Happy Valentine’s Day
