The Valentine Aisles

The pharmacy chain Has their heart-shaped balloons To attract you in front of the store, Though the few that remain Will not last many moons But don’t worry, for there’s so much more. Chocolate candies abound Sold in boxes and tins, Plus some sweets of the non-cocoa type. Teddy bears can be found And, as every head spins, There is plenty to kick up the hype. There are Valentine cards, There are bracelets and socks, There are earrings and headbands galore, So to give your regards, Opportunity knocks, With more stuff sold than ever before.

This made me laugh Illene. The stores have Halloween products out the first weeek in September Thanksgiving, forget about it. Christmas becomes the boss, before Thanksgiving even begins to breath. I agree with Nancy below.

It seems like every holiday comes with so much commercial hype now a days. I'm old school but what ever happened to making home made ones..Enjoyed your poem Ilene..

I think those bracelets may have been handcuffs, Ilene. hey! It’s an easy mistake to make ;-) Even love and romance has succumbed to the magnetic pull of hard cash. Shame, but so well depicted. Terry

A poem that is just in time. I visualize the pharmacy and I think, "I've got to get out of here". You pack so much in your poems. They're great.
