Stolen Valentine

A two-year old puts on a hat
And says now isn't this cute
Not as cute as her saying so
An old man on the street
Is telling a story to a young woman
Who is laughing uproariously
I wish I could hear what he's saying
South of here a mourning dove is cooing
Two long notes and then a short
What is that in Morse Code
I'll have to look it up
But then from the north comes
The echo of its mate
Five faint notes asking
If it's all too late
