Valentine, Shmalentine

Valentine, shmalentine
Chocolate adds to her behind
Sugar doesn't make her sweeter
It costs a fortune tryin' to feed 'er

Jewelry, shmewelry 
Better think twice
It's mass produced
And overpriced

Cupid, shmupid
You know that's fake
Angels don't shoot arrows
Give me a break!

This causes me to believe that you may have never clapped for Tinkerbell! Oh, my! Seriously, you amused me and I know your muse truly wanted to speak on the romantic issue in this way. I feel that same way about Hallmark movies where everything always works out by the end. Thanks for the giggle ... CayCay
