John Lawless Poet Rhyme

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

Connie Marcum Wong February 4, 2022 at 7:52 AM No, I don’t agree. My husband made me happy with a card or some simple token of remembrance, even a hug. I would imagine some ladies expect more but my friends feel like me. I hope you find what you seek in a lady.

Paulette Calasibetta February 4, 2022 at 7:20 AM Are we that demanding...LOL? Your delightful poem expresses quite well the difficulty of their ladies expectations. But you might feel less angst knowing Valentine's day imposes pressure on some women too. :) Paulette John Lawless February 4, 2022 at 2:35 PM All in good fun Paulette.
