Skipping Valentines

No to Valentine's Day!

If there's a day I'd like to skip

and witness it no more,

it is the fourteenth day of Feb

which gives me quite a snore.

I hate the roses everywhere

and couples wearing red.

All lovers should break up at once

and not make love in bed.

 

 

I wish to sue the TV shows

that air out kissing scenes.

And lovestruck poets should be hanged

along with crazy teens.

There shouldn't be a single song

with lame romantic rhymes.

And dating should be labeled as

the greatest of all crimes.

 

 

Whoever dared invent this crap

deserves a room in hell.

Those people who participate

should be with him as well.

See, it's not fair that they rejoice

and grief is all that's mine.

'Cause this event reminds me of

my long-lost valentine.

Author's Note

Sorry for the vulgar word "crap". I want to use "nonsense" but it has two syllables. ;)

Ha, this reminded me of what Bruno Mars said yesterday on the radio. He said; 'To most of the world the 14th is Valentine's Day... to me, it's Friday' LOL. Sorry had to share.

Anywho, good write.

Thank you, Sye. I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one.

[Simon Welsh]

It's just another day. Nicely written.

[Blue]

Thank you, Elliot. Sorry I haven't kept in touch recently.

[Mark]

crap works well there. LOL I understand the sentiment. I plan on hiding tomorrow. No hearts, no cupids, blech.

[Blue]

Haha, funny, Mark. Thank you for dropping by!

[Daffy]

A good poem. Of course it was a 'him' that invented Valentines Day, because it is only for commercial gain, and definitely not about love. Love is for 365 days of the year. Lol Daffy.
PS: For 'crap' try 'farce'.....

[Blue]

Thank you, Daffy!

I really like this! I just don't like valentines because it's stupid. :) ;) And crap is better than a lot of words, so you're good! ;)

[Blue]

I'm glad that you agree with me. Thank you as always, Alverrann.

[Calibaster]

You're very welcome!

Here I was happily reading along, chuckling a little and then I come to this line:

"And lovestruck poets should be hanged"

Gulp!!!!!!!!

Angry poetry and definitely no paper hearts in sight. Smile my friend, it will be the 15th soon.

[Blue]

Yes, thankfully valentines lasts for just a day. I won't survive if it's forever... And hey, I didn't mean to offend anyone there. It just my kind of humor. Haha. Thank you for your kind words, Jack.

[Angel]

You have penned my own feelings exactly. My husband died several years ago...and I miss him so much, especially this time of year...

[Blue]

Sorry to hear that, Angel. And thank you for dropping by.

[Brook]

I'M ALL FOR LOVE.
but anyway, great poem! Nicely done :-)

[Blue]

I'm not against love. I just find the commercialism irritating. Haha. Thank you, Brookly!

[Brook]

I agree, haha!
You're welcome :)

[Leslie Philibert]

[Blue]

Yes, Leslie... Thank you for your kind review.
