VALENTINE SHMALENTINE

All the kissing couples
And the teddy bears in mugs.
Annoying shaped balloons.
And big pink cards that promise hugs.

Cupid's arrow didn't hit
Me anywhere this year.
So me, myself and I will
Drown our sorrows in some beer.

The 14th of the 2nd month
Is just another day.
So why the crazy air of love?
It just gets in the way.

I'd rather go out with my friends
Or sit at home and read.
I'd like a boyfriend, yes I would.
But its not a desperate need.

So "down wiv valentiney things"
"Down wiv love" I say.
Down with all the bears in mugs
ITS JUST ANOTHER DAY!!

Lol, this made me smile. My only critique, you don't need all those periods, just let it flow! Good job!

I love reading things that poke at Valentine's Day without being heartbroken- my sentiments exactly! This rhyme scheme works very well for the lighthearted tone of the piece. I like it!

Your rhymes are very good and this has a nice flow. I agree with your sentiments. Valentine's Day has always seemed like a pointless holiday! The first stanza was my favorite. "And big pink cards that promise hugs"--that line made me smile. Your spelling of "with" as "wiv" kind of threw me off and I had to pause and figure out what you were saying. Also, if that first line of the last stanza is the beginning of the quote that continues in the second line, you don't need to put quotation marks at the end:

So "Down with Valentiney things!
Down with love," I say.
