I Want To Buy My Valentine

I want to buy my Valentine and get her something good I don't care if she loves me or even if she could I hope to get a blonde girl Skinny and good looking maybe one who's smart and fairly new to hooking I'll take her to McDonald's and pay for two to dine I'll even hand her napkins when she spills food on mine I'll walk her through the park and dodge the doggy doo I'll even hold her hand and kiss her right on queue. I'll put my jacket around her when she is getting cold I'll even light her cigarette and stop when I am told We'll make a little small talk We'll stop to watch the ducks and then it will get silent and words will turn to shucks Soon we'll go to my place to play the perfect songs I pray they sound romantic and cover up my wrongs The night will turn to morning as we play through the night I'll try to make some small talk just to avoid a fight We'll wake up to some coffee with toast and peanut butter I'll say the date is over and hope she doesn't mutter I'll see her to the door and lock it when she's out Just to spare my feelings so not to watch her pout Next year I'll find another Maybe one with money and when it ends with toast I'll have her buy some honey

Thanks again Alexis. I'm not usually funny. This is something new for me. Maybe my next poem will make people cry. I haven't tried that yet. LOL Thanks again Alexis.

You are worth more than a street bought Valentine. Dispite the sentiment, this is a well written poem. You have skills!

I've only been in Sudbury for a short time. I was in Brampton near Toronto before this. British Columbia is nice I hear. Lots of healthy bike paths. Sudbury is far behind the times. LOL

You're probably right. It is too commercial. Of course when I've got the right girl, I still manage to splurge. LOL -I'm in Sudbury, Ontario. Only a 5 hour drive from Toronto where Rob Ford resides.

It has become to commercial. They don't take into account that it magnifies so people's loneliness. Even people who are couples can feel sad if they don't have one of the perfect relationships portrayed in the media. I hope in the near future you find what you are seeking. Take care. Where in Canada are you?

Thanks for your kind words Richard. Valentine's Day is a holiday so many of us skip. LOL Not by choice. LOL
