Notes About The Poem

At the store where I work they have had the Valentines Day cards and gifts up all through January.

Happy Valentines Day To Me

Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day,
Happy Valentines Day to me.
Ain't got no boyfriend,
'Cause I'm seventy-three.

Won't get no card,
Nor a box full of candy,
So I'll buy it myself,
And I think that's just dandy.

Can't go out to eat,
Or do anything fun,
'Cause Covid-19,
Kicked that in the bum.

Won't get no phone calls,
Or gifts filled with lovin',
I did get one call,
From my favorite cousin.

Don't get me wrong,
I'm still cute as a button,
But at this stage of the game,
The sex appeal's nuthin'.

:) So true! Sex appeal means less than some other things as we get older -- Can he still chew? I celebrate Valentine's Day much like you do, Judy. Only it's a nephew who sends some flowers. It's been so long since I've dated, that I can't even remember why I started... Hugs, Carolyn

I mentioned in one of my comments that St. Valentine is around the corner. I received a Valentine card too: next Saturday I'm due to have the first anti-covid jab. Bah :)
