Herpes

Valentine's Day should be shortened to V-D,

the abbreviation for venereal disease

because the day is a recurring infection

that won't go away

the herpes of holidays

so why celebrate it,

because nobody celebrates

a daily Valtrex regimen

then again

we celebrate the Kardashians

buying new underwear

so whatever goes,

goes I guess

so let me go to the bathroom

and scream out my frustration

as the golden liquid hits the

low bullseye in the commode

OMG … this was funny. I think I may have to RR a few others with this one.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Thank you, Pryde.

This is sharp, smart and wit write. Totally enjoyed the message and humor. Enjoyed the read and will be back to read more of your work. Thanks for posting

HA! This might be the wine talking, but I can totally see this on a greeting card xD Perfect pitch. Although, truth be told, I might be one of a very select few who have never seen a Kardashian's underwear. (Thanks be to God) Great stuff. Nothing says "I am sick to death of society as a whole" like a burning pee xD

[Kenneth The Poet]

Thanks, K. Glad to see you too.

[KAOlmsted]

My pleasure ;-)

I agree. Too many made up holidays to create sales for business. If we love someone. Need to show it daily. Good use of description to make your point. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

why celebrate anything?

i drew a breath this morning, i gave hope to a bunch of people who needed it, my heart hurts now, but still i celebrate

[Kenneth The Poet]

I understand. Thank you.

[Emily B]

much love to you

Someone enjoys Valentine's Day. LOL So true though. While I don't hate Valentine's Day- I also don't need it. I celebrate my love daily. Anyway, the poem was cynical with a dose of reality. I liked it very much. On a side note : The ad that is currently running on this page from Writers Cafe says "You May Be Infected." Struck me as funny for some reason.

[Kenneth The Poet]

That's true. Thank you, Dye.

I'm sure THAT reverberates through the murk... heck of a day.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Agreed. Love is a constant thing in my mind, not a box on a calendar.

[Chris]

I agree... AND also understand.
