Valentine's Day Musings

All year long he puts my heart on a shelf No surprise I’d rather be by myself If there’s no Valentine treat From this worthless hunk of meat He can go on making love to himself Remember there’s an “I” in Valentine So if no one’s around to say, “Be mine” Just splurge – get a new hairdo Party with an all-girl crew Check out the divorce rate and say, “I’m fine” *For Francine's Valentine Limerick contest

Congratulations on your fantastic 2nd Place win in the contest, Carolyn. I missed this dear friend, but it's never late to send congratulations. Speaking about love..sometimes it's not even what we believe it is...and I love the last line...

Carolyn, I really like this, an all girl's crew on Valentine sounds fine, have fun...We share the same sentiments on "poverty". Eliminating is the only cure for everything wonderful. Have a nice weekend.
