- On Valentine's Day (14th Feb) people used to send Valentine cards, which were about the size of a post card. There were coloured bows of ribbons attached to the corners and little rhymes written under them such as:
If of me you often think
Send me back my bow of pink
If to me you would be true
Send me back my bow of blue
If you are another girl's fellow
Send me back my bow of yellow.
If to me you would be wed
Send me back my bow of red
If with me you wouldn't be seen
Send me back my bow of greenThe sender used to write her name in the middle of the card. It is said that birds mate on Valentine's Day.- Collector
