A V-Day Poem, Belated
A close friend’s spouse each year would buy
A gorgeous heart-shaped box
Of chocolates meant for Valentine’s,
Not so unorthodox.
Except he made his purchase
For this most romantic day
On the 15th of the month,
When what was left out on display…
Were the candy hearts marked down in price –
Half-off! A big big sale!
My friend just laughed, but many
Thought it quite beyond the pale.
So here I am, my V-Day poem
A day too late for many,
But written in the spirit
Of my friend’s ex-husband Kenny.
