“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.”
