Poem 1:

Cabbage always has a heart;
You're such a cute tomato.
You've been the apple of my eye.
You know how much I care.
We'd make a perfect pear.
Don't squash my hopes and dreams now.
Bee my honey now and ever.

Poem 2:

Cupid came the other day,
and now my heart is filled with love,
a love meant just for you.
What can I do? I cannot stop dreaming of your smile,
thinking of your honeyed lips, your magnetic eyes.
I cannot wait to be with you
to hold you in my arms,
to whisper words of love to you.
Yes, Cupid came the other day.
And now, my heart is filled with love,
alove meant just for you.
