So you agree that you don't
celebrate Valentine's Day
because you chose not to be a
part of the masses for the
origin of Valentine's Day has
nothing to do with love but
death
So you agree that Valentines
Day is what the masses use to
market chocolate, teddy bears,
negligees, and dinner
So you agree that the masses
will celebrate any man made
holiday in order to make a
dollar and try to make you feel
like love should only be
expressed Feb 14th.
So you agree my love that we
will not exchange gifts on Feb
14th but use several days
throughout the year to spend
time with one another,
exchange what we like with one
another instead of waiting for a
calendar to instruct you to do
so. What was that? You said
yes,well, my love I'm glad we
are equally yoked because I
don't think it would work any
other way!
My valentine ever to be.
The girl of my dreams came to me.
She wanted to play
so I had to pay.
Satisfaction is guaranteed
My valentine's price was too much.
Her business kept all men in touch.
Appointments were made
Men met in the shade.
A call girl I found out as such!
My valentine's not what she said.
I found out her heart was not red.
She took all I had.
But man she was bad.
Was worth it I took her to bed!!
