Valentine Heart - Repost

Women love this yearly thrill The day of hearts and flowers As men, the cowards that we are, Dread the task and cower. For women wait with scented air For tribute to be rendered And if the booty’s not just right They then act all offended. And men, poor fools, seek outside help By asking other women To choose for them the perfect gift No man had ever given. After years of struggle Men finally learn the trick Give her what she really wants “Your heart upon a stick”. John G. Lawless 2011
