The price of gold has gone up, the cost of diamonds too
So what do I get my beloved what is it I should do?
I dare not get her clothes, they don’t seem to fit she says,
I dare not get her gifts, they’re expensive these days.
So what do I get my beloved, what is it I should do?
The price of gold’s gone up, the price of diamonds too!
So I thought and thought and scratched my head, and wondered what to do
The price of gold’s gone up, the price of diamonds too.
I scratched my head and stroked my beard
Then came up with a thought most weird
Maybe the price of gold’s gone up, and that of diamonds too
But maybe my heart would do the job that all the gold can’t do.
So I’m telling my beloved, it’s my heart you’re gonna get
It’s going to be a Valentine, you’ll never, never forget
So here I’m all excited, it’s my heart instead of gold
My own dear heart instead, of some dreary, bleary gold.
I can see the smile that she will have as she sees my gift so true
Oh Bob it’s not gold or diamonds, it’s your heart, it’s really you!
She saw my gift ‘Ah No’ she cried and gave me a slap, no two,
‘Maybe gold has gone up, the cost of diamonds too
I’m sure you scratched your head and stroked your beard
And came up with this gift so weird.’
‘But Bob a lil’ bit of gold, maybe a diamond too
Would have bin’ a lot more better than this stingy heart from you’
The price of gold has gone up, the cost of diamonds too
So what do I get my beloved what is it I should do?
I dare not get her clothes, they don’t seem to fit she says
I dare not get her gifts, they’re expensive these days.
There’s nothing to get my beloved, there’s nothing I need to do,
She’s gone away this Valentine’s, to her mother’s place, boo-hoo..!

That was funny. Chinese used to call gold, yellow devil. My son in law has to take his wedding ring off at night since he gets a rash under it. A mosquito had sat on my daughter’s hand as she had waited to put it on his finger while saying her vows. Now I know why. I told her it may have been jealous. Only female mosquitos sting.
Haha, she didn’t want your heart
May be ‘cause you lacked the art
Of stating what’s more precious
Than metals which are plain pretentious!
Wow! Only a classmate of mine could have out-poemed me! Thanks Jean!
Great poem Jean !
Please comment more often !
Off to her mother’s house!!
Does that make you feel like a mouse,
But men aren’t mice,
And women are so nice,
She’ll be back pining ,
With the one she loves dining.
Thank you for that reassurance David!
Instead of a flashy diamond ring
Or some other expensive thing
For her to accept your heart
You need to exercise tact
She’ll accept anything
