A tribute to Valentine's Day

This may end up in Matt's homemade card this year. 

Endless dribble of adoration authored just for this day

Nary a one had the words I'd like to say

This isn't a poem, nor limerick, nor sonnet

But a tribute to this day that puts a bee in my bonnet

Don't spend all our pennies, dollars, or savings

Buying chocolates I don't need to end all my cravings

I don't want to make a twelfth trip to the gym

Just to get sick and be ridden with phlegm.

No need for flowers that wilt and get crusted

Or jewelry that's cheap and wears out or gets busted

Maybe some music, maybe some books

Or a discount plastic surgeon to tune up my looks

Honestly dear this holiday is awful

Take me out for a Lebanese falafel

You're great at telling me each day that I 'm special

I need no lace covered something you saw on commercial

Let's sit in our sweats

Buy a few pets

And poo foo Valentines with no regrets. 

What do you think? Too over the top? I'm not sure I've ever had a falafel...

Justin Beiber says it best....NOT

Happy stupid Valentines Day.
