Valentine's Day -- Have It Your Way

Happy Valentine's Day
  Have it your way
Like a horse eats his hay
  Snarf down these chocolates, OK?...

Yes, Ma'am. Happy Valentine's Day
  And I don't give a hoot what you say
That bouquet of 'fresh roses' on display
  Is not worth two weeks of my pay....

Oh, alright. You win. I tossed all my principles away
  And bought you those smelly roses anyway
So, chocolate and roses: Hey, let's go all the way
  I'll meet you in bed ~ Masks off, Whuddyasay?

Gershon, The heart shaped box says love, the bouquet says 'make it forever'. Happy Valentine's Day, have it your way. -Richard

Ha, ha! You certainly are sincere, Richard... I would like to remind you that the bottom of the box states: 'Made in Wuhan, China: Beware the Bug!' lol. HVD, anyway. :) gw

Ha, ha! Cute Comment... Hey, they also sing: 'If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife...' Well, I made a pretty woman my wife, and I'm pretty happy... Shows to go you, I guess. Cheers, Gershon
