GOOD MORNING TO YOU, VALENTINE

Such luminaries as John Updike, Shel Silverstein and William Shakespeare contribute one sentiment apiece, but this valentine verse more typically echoes the sensibilities of Anonymous--""Roses are red,/ Violets are blue,/ R U 4 me?/ I am for U!"" The printing--red ink on white pages--is appropriately fatuous. Even if we hate to sound hard-hearted, it must be pointed out that the collection of fewer than 25 unevenly fetching ditties is only slightly more substantial than one of those mixed dime-store bags.
