Panel 18

        Text:

           1  Would you be my Valentine?

           2  It’s not a bath in turpentine;
           3  Or a date with Frankenstein.

           4  I’m neither heartless Philistine
           5  Nor gaucho in the Argentine

           6  My manner’s less than leonine
           7  And rarely is it saturnine

           8  I’m not sour as a Gravenstein
           9  Or prickly as a porcupine

           10 You won’t eat Chicken Florentine
             11 Or any creature serpentine

             12  You’ll need no tablet anodyne
             13  Or fizzing peptic alkaline

             14 You’re not a hothouse concubine
             15 Raised in a harem Byzantine

           16 Now we’ve hit the bottom line;
           17 This question do I undersign:

           18 Would you be my Valentine?
