Happy Valentine's Day, Zim fanbase!
EDIT: YES! This won third place! You should also check out my dear friend LodiendDib4ever's letter to Dib, which won second.
To my dearest Invader Zim,
I take my pen this evening
To confess, in my own way
My feelings for you; please, shut up
And let me have my say
This sickly, gooey holiday
Of hearts and flower wreaths
Of chocolates and of Cupids-
February the fourteenth!
Yes, today is Valentine's Day
Sweet cards in pink and red
That I was too cheap to buy you;
So you get this crap instead.
From the moment I first saw you
I knew we were meant to be
Despite never having met you
And the fact you're two-foot-three
Your eyes, Zim, mesmerize me
I can never look away
I say green skin is sexy
As are twitchy antennae
Loyal, fearless, and persistent
Even-if I may-inspired
You'll keep plotting Earth's destruction
Though your plans have all backfired
Happy love-pig day to you!
There, I said it. Now be mine
Kudos to the Invader
Who no other can outshine!
So if you get discouraged
(And I'm sure you sometimes do)
Remember you have someone
Who will always root for you.
Happy Valentine's Day, Zim! (Or, as I prefer to call you...Zimmikins)
Love, TheWaffleMonster
