Beware Valentines Day!
February 14th and a special day
For many romantic couples at play
Card shops crammed with displays
Arty sentimental pictures
Inside see slushy verse
As those given to afterthought
Pull into a garage forecourt
Then leave with faded flowers
Entering front door for the romantic hours
The seasoned professional love monkey types
Excel at this days laborious hype
Ending day in booked restaurant
Oh how slick!
Love songs from lone guitarist on stool
Are sung to the many - oh so gullible
Extra Roses procured by restaurant staff
Blatantly passed to the ladies they pass
If you don’t show a loved one they’re loved
Through the year, can one day so called ‘special’
Really prove that you care?
The money you spend on this commercial of days
Why not save it for loved one on any other day
