Poems

The ultimate cheeseball way to express your love is through a poem. Here are some awesomely awful examples.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Tamales are hot
And so are you
Roses are red
Violets are blue
But they both turn green
Out of envy for you
Here’s a Valentine’s poem
To make your heart glow
I love you, my sweet
Even more than you know
I love you
You love me
Let’s get it on passionately
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Here’s a cheesy Valentine
Just for you
