Card

I am in the
Third grade
On Valentine’s
Day we each bring
A card to put into
Teacher’s big hat
So we each can
Pick one card
But my card I
Put into the
Hat is my
Hand
Drawn heart
With an arrow
Shot by a Cupid
All I could afford in
1953 but not what
Whoever drew it
Was hoping for
So the teacher
Comforts the
Little girl by
Telling her
A hand
Drawn
Card is the
Most sincere.
The little girl gives
Her a look that says
Get real lady this
Card is neither
Glossy nor
Shiny so
Boo hoo.
The heart
Wants what
Is eye-catching.
