Valentine’s Day?
Bah, humbug!
What hooey!
Hand-written note,
all mushy
and gooey.
Lacy red heart,
an arrow
and cupid.
Kisses in gold.
How corny!
How stupid!
Dark choc’late hearts
with almonds
and berries,
Wrapped in a box
with flowers
and fairies.
Reading up close,
all grumpy
and bitter,
There was my name
in glue globs
and glitter!
Take it away!
Who needs it?
It’s silly.
Hearts are for girls.
So sparkly!
So frilly!
Valentine’s Day?
I don’t want
to do it!
Well…..
Maybe one peek,
before I
kung fu it.
“Sweetheart, you’re mine.
We’re meant for
each other.
Benjamin,dear,
I love you.
Your Mother.”
