Remember when Valentines Day was just a card with some silly rhymes on it, played out by kids?? Plus, you didn't say who it was from, it was your way of letting a girl know you fancied her (without her actually ever knowing, unless your mates grassed you up).
Like everything else, it's been taken over by THE MONEY GRABBERS and become another cynical rip-off.
But hey, it's all nice and good people get to share their love and stuff - for my missus, it's Valentines Day everyday!!!  - Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, I love John Williams, and so do you too!!!

It has become
Commercial rubbish,
Plastic flowers
10p the dozen
In protest
I decided
To pluck a rose
Of the genuine kind
From my neighbour's garden.
He wasn't happy
But my wife was,
Which made it all worthwhile

Many thanks, Michael - that's really great!
Valentine's day is just pointless. As if there weren't enough holidays to spend alone - they invent one to make you aware of that.
I hope those with "more luck" are enjoying it, though...

Thanks. I honestly don't have a problem with Valentine's Day, but it is fun to poke a little fun at it, being single and all.
My favorite is when friends in relationships try to explain why it is, in fact, better to be single.
I was talking to a friend on the phone the other night, and somehow we got on the topic of relationships. He was telling me about some of his past experiences (mostly the bad). I said, jokingly in response to a couple of his stories, "Maybe it's a good thing I've been single since high school," and he goes, "You know, I gotta say, sometimes it is just better being single." LOL!
