MY FUNKY VALENTINE (with apologies to Rodgers & Hart!)







My funky valentine
Reading the comics valentine
Oh, where oh where do I start?

Your looks are laughable
Yet, I'm so affable
I'm just gonna call you abstract art

Oh, your figure's less than chic
And your nose looks like a beak
When you speak
You're speaking Greek
To me-eee

You don't comb your hair for me
There's a pubic hair in my tea
What does it matter to me?
Each day is Valentine's Day

Of your figure I can't speak
A less than noteworthy physique
And there's an odor from your feet
That sets you apar-arrrt.

But don't wash your hair for me
Or change your underwear for me
Stay funky, valentine, stay...

Each day is Valentine's--
unless it's Groundhog,
President's, Saint Patrick's,
April Fool's, Mother's,
Father's, Columbus, or Labor...
Da-eeeyyy

  3. Tim, this is too good! Funky Valentine - with a lot of 'fun' in the funk.

    And you know I sang this to the tune! It worked perfectly :)

  4. This is priceless. I do have to object to not changing the underwear, though. LOL.

  5. SHERRY,
    Depends on how fussy a tea drinker one is, eh?

    JEN,
    Hairy tea
    Oh my, oh me
    I think perhaps
    That's not for me

    TALON,
    Yes, I tried to follow the rhythm of the original song--more or less-thanks for noticing!

    LORRAINE,
    Happy VD to you too, my sweet! (no, don't go there...)LOL

    SELMA,
    Some of us just have rigid standards, I guess!!!

  7. Ha! I guess love is blind and smelly.

  8. Valentine's day is about hearts,
    Not about all the other parts,
    But you've got a real Valentine there,
    With unwashed clothes and pubic hair,
    A lot of fun with someone so spunky,
    Enjoy the whole year feeling great, er funky.

  14. hahahahha...awesome!! Have you seen those Progressive insurance commercials (the ones with their star "Flo" in them)?
    Well...if she were to sing a V Day song, it would be something like this! I love Flo!! And I totally DIG this poem!! :D

    (smiles and hugs)

  15. Oh Mr Funky valentine, you slay. Hope that you saw the chunks in the tea before sipping. Happy Day to you.

  16. KAVITA,
    I can definitely see "Flo" singing this, as in reality she is comedian Stephanie Courtney!

    KKRIGE,
    Not exactly what you'd call a little "hair o' the dog," but that depends on your definition of dog!
    BENDEDSPO0ON, FIVELOAF, OGUNGBESAN MICHAEL, STEVE, HEDGEWITCH...Thanks all...I see you're quite the "romantics" as well!

  27. A sweet sweet Valentine - tea and all. The imagery was enough to send someone to the shower, very witty, humorous. I am a very visual person and I have to admit this caught me off guard, now all day I will be checking my tea cup......

  28. JOANNY,
    I wonder what that particular cup of tea would mean to one who reads tea leaves! LOL
    GABRIELA,
    Great to hear from you!
