Twas the night before Valentine’s Day, and all through the land

Single girls were lamenting their lack of a man

The ice cream was set in the freezer with care

In hopes it would soothe their unending despair

The girlfriends were dreaming of bears and red roses

Some even thought, “I sure hope he proposes”

The boyfriends were sweating, unaware what to buy

For their girls who had chosen such unorganized guys

The floral shops closed, all prepared for the day

They would sell near ten thousand flower bouquets

Some lay in their beds, indifferent towards males

Thinking only how chocolate would soon be on sale

Way up in the sky, poisoned arrows all ready

Cupid struck some new lovers with his aim oh so steady

Young boys and girls quite content with no date

Thanks to Cupid would find their potential soul mate
