Yesterday, Tish wrote an awesome poem about Valentine's Day. Although I hope to post it or at least link to it later (with her permission of course), it inspired me to write my own own.
It reads:
Today is said to be the big day of love,
brought down to the mortals from cupid above.
As the card companies profit and flower sales boom,
I’m at work working, and about to get the heck out the room.
Because Valentine’s Day is unpleasant when you’re working with ladies.
They get all competitive and hotter than Hades!
Heaven forbid your man forgets to get roses
or chocolates and goodies covered with all kinds of bows-es.
Society says real love is shown through a fat credit-card swipe.
But I’m going against the grain. I won’t be that female type.
I’m celebrating privately, at home with my man.
Be it with friends or family or loved ones, I suggest you do what you can
to make this day what’s it supposed to be instead of all the drama.
A day filled with love -- not just more stuff -- is good for your karma!
