Mark Paul Van Der Merwe Poet Couplet

Valentine Shmalentine

Valentines day is a joke
I learnt the hard way as a bloke.
My last valentines gift on that day,
a divorce order delivered, yay,
till now nothing more funny,
no more chocolates and a cute bunny,
I can no longer celebrate this ritual,
as for most this is habitual.
