V-Day
I do not need to eat
In a romantic atmosphere.
I’d much prefer a pub-type place
For burgers and a beer.
Those fancy boxed-up chocolates
And a dozen long-stemmed roses
Would get a thumbs-down vote
If that’s what anyone proposes.
On V-Day, I prefer a card
And possibly a flick,
With dinner in the kind of place
That I would always pick.
As long as on this date I have
My husband by my side,
Then all of my requirements
Have somehow been supplied.
So all those red accoutrements
And other mushy stuff
Won’t make me any happier –
For love’s reward enough.
