The Best Valentine Verse Ever




Years ago me and a friend were writing Valentine's Day verses.

You know the type:

Roses are red violets are blue

It has been so long ago I now cannot remember who wrote it.

Did I write it, did my friend write it, did we write it together or did someone else write it?

Sorry I cannot remember.

_______

When you and I are far apart
May trouble never break your heart

I in other lands may roam
Sleep and dream of you alone

All I think I cannot say
Night may come and also day

With you on my mind
You in the poem the question find

________

Written I believe in 1973 while in the Merchant Navy

Can you find the question?

________

If you cannot find the question look at the first comment below

  2. You send this poem to someone in a Valentine

    A little while later you say, did you find the question?

    I have not known anyone who was able to find it so their answer is likely to be, No.

    You then say I will tell you how to find it if you promise to read it out.

    It is likely they will say, Ok.

    You tell them to read out the first word from each line of the poem.

    Once they have read it out you respond by saying, Ah I thought you would never ask.
