Fritz Purdum Poet Rhyme

Just Another Valentines Day

Half eaten box of chocolates
A card never read
Welted roses
Burnt toast left from breakfast in bed
Eating a rubber steak
With a no label wine
Such a lovely holiday
To be a valentine
Going through the motions
That are expected
Hoping for sleep
Wanting to be rejected
After a decade or two
Everything becomes routine
Something about forced romance
Seems slightly obscene
Were still together
We are doing fine
Next year let's forget
About Valentines
Caring is sharing everyday
Not marketing over paced
Greedy corporate selling love
I'll save the card just in case

Janet Eaton February 14, 2015 at 7:15 PM So very true how commercialized all the holidays are anymore. How can today be more important when you love all through the year. Where would Christmas and Easter be if all we had was present and candy and no Christ. I better not get started. It's a solid 7 from me. Great write. Janet
