Valentine's

A day surrounding love
Has reared its head
Dishing out roses
Which are usually red

A dash to the florist
To pick up some flowers
Choosing a card
Which may take some hours

Words with true meaning
Or a load of old tripe
Winning a person over
Because they're your type

This is my ditty
To give you some cheer
On a day full of nonsense
Which should last all year

Valentines is but a day
Tis all a bit funny
It's just a big reason
For the shops to take our money

Fun and whimsical, but you're right the love should last all year.
