Love’s Day
There to remind us
I am hers or his,
And he or she is mine:
Two Roman martyred saints
(who may be one)
Two hundred eighty nine
Both/each, Saint Valentine.
Why love must have a special day,
One has no way of knowing,
Showing it with hearts and chocolate.
So, with feeble wit
and strong devotion
Joining in tradition’s custom
With no option
Here’s the lotion of my notion:
All the love I have inside me
Goes to you with love’s supply
In skimpy words that paltry say,
Happy Valentine’s this day.
(to everyone in every way.
