FLO'S VALENTINE
“I wonder where I'd better send
This valentine.” said Flo;
“It's pretty, and my dearest friend
Would like it much, I know.
“My dearest friend is Nelly May;
She'll have a lot, I s'pose;
She always does, for she's a girl
'Most everybody knows.
“I want to send it awful bad
To Nelly May, for she
Will likely send her loveliest one
To her dear friend—that's me.
“But there is little Molly Jones—
She said, the other day.
She'd never had a valentine
In all her life; now say,
“I've half a mind to send her this;
'Twill s'prise her so, you see.
That won't be selfish, for I know
She'll not send one to me.
“And Nelly May won't miss it, for
She'll have so many; so
I'll start right off and mail it now
As quick as I can go.”
