The Real Valentines Gangsters

As Valentine Day is upon us now Sending a message to our loves Like chocolate and flowers With pictures of white doves Think back to 1929 And of The North Side Gang...men who Got a different type of message And it wasn't I Love You It was on the North Side Al Capone's gang took down nine They massacred these gangsters They crossed the prohibition line Five years before they also Killed the gangs leader in his shop His front was selling flowers Hey, it's Chicago....where's a cop? Now eighty five years later The gangsters aren't as bold But, on Valentines they're still there Running Chicago in the cold With prices for fresh roses Through the roof....you know the powers Are run like gangsters years before By the people selling FLOWERS.

I like every bit of this poem, and I don't even know what a grow op is.
