Twas the night before V. Day,
When all through the kitchen,
Daddy Mouse smelled odors of my candy fixin'.

He saw in the paper
The next day was V. Day
Mama Mouse's expecting again, he did say.

She needed some loving.
She needed some now.
He needed to remember V. Day, and how!

She didn't like candy
She would like some cheese.
That trapped Cheddar down stairs surely would please.

He carefully removed it
Without springing the snap.
With a smile on his face, laid it in her full lap.

With a sly little grin
He kissed her and pranced.
“Here you are, Sweetheart. Here's to romance.”

Happy Valentine's Day, you-all!
