Valentine Fool - Funny Valentine Poem for Kids

Valentine Fool

I couldn't take another year

without a Valentine card

for being ridiculed by friends

can leave a young kid scarred

I chose a card with clouds of hearts

above a candy floss mist

where two tongue tangling unicorns

met lips and sloppy-kissed

I shoved the card inside my coat

then fled, hood up, from the mall

At home, I wrote (with my left hand)

some lovey-dovey scrawl

Next morning dawned, I grabbed the card

I spun and raced into school

I passed it round and played surprised

but looked like such a fool

Like vultures, kids all circled me

They laughed and I filled with shame

For I’d not put a question mark

I’D SIGNED THE CARD WITH MY NAME!
