A poem for Valentine's Day

'Bout Valentine's Day
Readers, I love you-
And the rest of mankind
I sure as heck do . . .
Plus monkeys, cats, fish
Even polecats (phew!)-
Rattlers, polar bears, fleas
E'en germs which cause flu . . .
Mice, lizards, worms, ducks
Slimy snails, you, too-
Here's a kiss for all things
I love you plumb thru!
