My Valentine Rituals
MY VALENTINE RITUALS
A day set aside
Only for love to tangle
A day where gifts are exchanged
All in the name of love
A day where love is confessed willingly
A day that increases birth rate
A day where lies reign supreme
A day where truth are rarely spoken
How many valentine dates have you this year?
I remember those yesteryears where I count
In double figures my valentine dates
Lies in all its shades comes into play
Deceit in all its forms void my thought
My specs & species are divided into three folds
Classified in order of priority
Some plays in the league of Pre-Valentine
Such are told the lies of my travelling
Before and on the valentine day
With pomp, pageantry on red roses
They celebrate their valentine with me
A day or two days before valentine
For the fortunate lady set aside to play
On the special day of Valentine
She still do not have the luxury
Of monopolizing the day to herself alone
My Valentine day is broken into three
The ones that will dine with the King
During Breakfast, others during Lunch
And the last set are the ones for Dinner
Oh, I see you sigh for me!
Sexual intercourse is not a key element
The day is of love
I share mine amongst three or four ladies
Stop!!! don't judge me yet
I am not the ladies man
I am just the man that ladies love to hate
The last fold are the players of Post-Valentine
Those that basks in the basket of lies
That I travelled on Valentine day
Those here are not of after thought
They are fed with lies of my travelling
For one occasion or the other
Even weeks before Valentine
It was primarily my University days
Where I stayed in two campus hostels
And two off campus hostels
These hostels are abattoirs for the butchers
We are the butchers... King of the jungle
A Don at my own game
