1147 – Fishy Valentine

Fishy Valentine
Three minutes later, the fish had forgotten all about the Valentine, or where he was, or what he was. Fish are stupid.

No Valentine for Toby

This Valentine’s, it was a gas!
We celebrated with our class,
and all of us had fun, alas…
but no one gave a Valentine to Toby.

My box was stuffed with cards, it’s true.
I made a special heart for you,
and even teacher got a few,
but no one gave a Valentine to Toby.

The decorations, pink and red,
were all around and overhead.
“I love this holiday!” we said,
but no one gave a Valentine to Toby.

No, Toby didn’t get his wish.
So sulkily he’ll splash and splish.
It’s hard to be the classroom fish,
but no one gave a Valentine to Toby.
