Good morning, my sweet Valentine,
Come out from where you hide.
Our bed is cold and lonely, Dear.
I need you by my side.
Oh, there you are, down on the floor!
What are you doing there?
Our bed is so much softer, Love.
Come back. I'm glad to share.
You say I shoved you out of bed?
Oh, no! That can't be true!
I cuddled close to you all night
And whispered, "I love you."
Your button nose is chilly, Dear,
Your toes are growing cold.
You're teasing me. I know you, Sir.
My love has made you bold.
All right. That's it. I've had enough.
I'll drag you back to bed.
See here, I've got you by the leg.
Watch out! Don't bump your head!
We've pulled the quilt up to our chins.
We're quite a snuggling pair.
I love you, fuzzy Valentine,
My furry teddy bear.
Mary [Ekholm] Francis
