My Darling Valve-n-tine









      Your gifts to me were endless
       prodigiously stupendous
        but alas, my dear,
         I lust, I fear
          for something more tremendous. 

     That sliver of your liver?
      Made me quiver when delivered
        and...those bits of butt
         devoid of nuts?
          NOT the best part of the giver.

     You've drained your brain.
      (Call me insane
       for wanting more than gristle).
        Still I prefer a manly vein -
         subclavian to distal.

     Vessels show you really care
      to move that pulsing love you share
       (unlike your large intestine
         so obviously destined
          for moving nothing but hot air).

      Your hearts gone out to someone else
       quite broken and impaired
        but what the heck,
         you got a check,
          so how can that compare

      to what we’ve pieced together
       from bits of cold behind
        but now I ask
         just one more task
          in hopes you will not mind.


     My heartless, gutless, short love,
      I hunger to adore ya'.
       So stiff your gift --
         Let's clip off its
          blue ribbon of aorta.

    A classy piece of medical buffoonery that I’m sure will entice a wider smile from those in the know, well done and all the very best

    I felt I was reading the musings of Hannibal Lecter's missus but this is a really clever little piece and wonderfully contructed and wryly told. I just loved it.

    LOL! My, my, I guess if there is going to be any "uction" where Hugh might enjoy his "ection" this would be the place for the "action" to take place! I only have one thing to say.
    Hugh darling, while expressing your exsquisite use of adjectives while linking verbs, this is one time you may not want to dot your " i " s. It stings like a bitch!

    Gee, honey! If I'd only known I wouldn't have done it.
    But look!! Mine only uses "ection" words. You can still go with "action",iction","oction" or (best of all): "uction"
    and be original (as I'm sure you would!!)
    Apologies for using up most of "
    ection".
    Love and hugs, XXX Hugh.

    would you believe the link you sent earlier today led me here?
    but I found the forum board again and posted the message.

    and in the way of this poem, only to add that I love how the hearts in the image finally land up on initials "B.D." stands for Mr. Bud Drinker I guess??? gives a whole new meaning to "this Bud's for you."

    Though this is quite romantic,
    the message enigmatic.
    A prick not bared
    can not be shared.
    The ribbon's problematic.

    Sincerely,
    Leo Long

    Michelle,

    hahahhahaha "Shallow hearts, dig shallow graves." Your dad was a wise man. I can see it now sitting in the Walmart bin, embroidered onto a red satin pillow of course.

    Hugh is clever ever clever - ever clever whatever he might sever he's clever, maybe cleverer than Trevor and the whole project was a clever whatever the outcome for Jane-never! Well, hardly ever from me of the 'Never Never'!

    Dear Jane,
    ~~~
    You know my predilection
    which has not escaped detection
    is the intimate inspection
    of the mammalian section
    having evident connection
    with spontaneous erection
    of the penile male connection
    which may well require protection
    without explicit direction
    against possible infection
    during subsequent ejection
    but your surgical reflection
    on desirable dissection
    indicating an affection
    for discriminate selection
    causes certain circumspection
    with ancillary dejection
    thus resulting in rejection
    or a need for slight correction
    of your plea for interjection
    and some added vivisection
    to your Valentine collection.
    ~~~
    Good luck in the contest.
    Applause, love and hugs, XXX Hugh.

    Anatomically sound

    Jane, I must have had a bad dream when I read this because my recent past flashed before my eyes. A guilty, flirting conscience, perhaps. This is a real effort in body parts. And it's this that matters. How can one say I love your pump when it's a heart? Or, I'm VEIN but my blood flows for you? Or, I love your clavicle? What part of me falls in love? I do not know, really ... but I'll stop here otherwise I may as well enter this competition!! I hope you win for your blood is worth bottling. Lyndon
