Valentine At Seventy (Humour) Poem by Loke Kok yee

Valentine At Seventy (Humour)

Rating: 5.0


Do not send me a bouquet red
Of fragrant roses which I dread
I will forget to water them
Then you will frown and say ahem!
In just a few days they will wilt
Which says little of a love built
Just three words on that special day
That will ever in my heart stay

Do not give me chocolates sweet
My teeth are now in full retreat
My diabetes is much too high
And from sweets and such, I should shy
Or else my kidneys, they will fail
And my life will be a sorry tale
Just three words on that special day
Sweetly said, to my heart conveyed

And please do not send me a card
That, I will surely disregard
My eyes bedimmed with cataract
And reading, no more in my act
There're days when I asked, who are you?
Which you will wrongly misconstrue
Just three words on that special day
And our love will never sway

Loke, Loke, You are the most humorous poet in PH Love is not just for young people but for all ages. Like the couple in the picture, they may not have teeth, but they look so happy. That's all that matters. One who can see beyond the body, is the true love. Just the three magical words can raise you to spiritual heights. Thank you Loke, for this lovely poem.

Not tonight, Dear? Finally you've sent a picture of yourself, and of your mate! Is 'she' an ancient elf? I bet you two are still very hot in your bed; that's why, at night, the blanket, you do shed. (cont.)

What a lovely poem for Valentines day! Three little words do mean so much. I love the picture accompanying your poem. Humor is essential for a long happy life together. Couples who have a good laugh together survive the knocks.
