Thomas Jefferson's Valentines to Karl Marx:
Roses are red; Violets are blue.
Karl Marx, you make me want to spew.
I am the author of the Declaration
You seem to want to have only one nation.
I, for one, have come to know,
That tyranny of one government will not be our Manifesto.
I split from the King of Britain to prove
Freedom for a country is my best move.
Valentines may be a day, in which we say,
“I love you, and I’ll cherish you always.”
However, in your case, can’t you see?
America is well and thriving; we are free.
In America, Valentines encourages blissfulness,
All we desire is “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Marx response:
This thing you call Valentines, I do not understand.
Jefferson, you are so fortunate to have a new land.
This land is yet without class distinction.
You have the opportunity take Communism into action.
I say abolish private property and abolish family.
If you heed my words, do so swiftly.
This is the proposal in which I delight:
“Working men of all countries, unite!”
America, be my Valentine.
-Hannah
