My Ode to Valentine's Day

Bear with me, I am not a poet. However, on this day of love poems, I wrote a little ditty.

 

 

Darling,

I do not like the gift in a can.

I do not want that flower

So obviously picked within the hour.

(Along with the generic chocolate.)

Haven’t you paid attention, you twit?

While we are mentioning it,

No more wine, or promise of song

No more romantic evenings gone wrong.

I am not the size of a Vicky Seek model

And I am not going to squabble

Course, if you want give me a bauble… or two.

Tiara, toe ring, wrist bangle

It must be big, platinum, sparkle
and it's okay if it dangles.

You have been so busy

And that can make me quite pissy.

But if you want me to get frisky,

Listen.

On this forced day of love

(That I truly want to shove!)

The only thing I desire…

And this part is most certainly true,

All the year through,

Babe.  Clearly! It’s only you.
