With apologies to John Gerald.
 
Oh faire Rosemary,
There's never enough thyme
To write a fines valentine.
Oh rue the mind that's dill not sage
And leaves undone this pot de fun.
Chive me knot for I mint well,
And woad you true, my savory one.
Ye are free to lovage you wish,
But please, a teas, do not be.
Celery be aligned?
Shallot be "yea" or "nay"?
Oh, essential one, oil be so sorrel if ye say "non"
but bee balm if it be "oui".
 
Happy Valentine's Day
 
Cheers
