Runny Valentine
I love to spend my life with you
Together ‘til we’re old
That doesn’t mean I wish to share
A runny, streaming cold
My nose is getting rosy
I’ve tissues close at hand
If I don’t rush to kiss you
I hope you’ll understand
It’s not a lack of passion
If I don’t give a hug
I have no wish to make you worse
With yet another bug
Let’s keep the germs at arms-length
And flu that comes from swine
In sickness and in health you are
My one true Valentine.
