St Valentines Day:-
This day falls on the 14th of February. People send postcards to their sweethearts and put in a little rhyme.
I wish I could travell (sic) by letter,
And sit by your side as of old,
One clasp of your hand would be better,
Than love letters written in gold.It is often I sit and think of thee
When I am alone for memory is the only thing brief can call its own. I wish I were a china cup
From which you would drink your tea
For every time you would take a sup
I would get a kiss from you.When you are sitting by the fire
Wishing a friend to see
Turn your thoughts to Cloonadrum
And you will surely think of me Roses are red and voilets (sic) are blue
Sugar is sweet and so are you.(continues on next page)
