Inside my lunch box to my surprise
a perfect heart-shaped love note lies.
The outside says, тАЬWill you be mine?тАЭ
and, тАЬWill you be my valentine?тАЭ
I take it out and wonder who
would want to tell me тАЬI love you.тАЭ
Perhaps a girl whoтАЩs much too shy
to hand it to me eye to eye.
Or maybe it was sweetly penned
in private bya secret friend
Who found my lunchboxsitting by
and slid the note inon the sly.
Oh, IтАЩd be thrilledif it were Jo,
the cute one in the second row.
Or could it befrom Jennifer?
Has she found out IтАЩm sweet on her?
My mindтАЩs abuzz, my shoulders tense.
I need no more of this suspense.
My stomach lurching in my throat,
I open up my little note.
Then wham! as if
it were a bomb,
inside it reads,
I love you beta-mom
