Lyrical Laments - 26. Chapter 26 Be My Valentine

A little tongue-in-cheek fun...

Be My Valentine

 

 

I’ve had my share of Valentines

Some good, but some real bad

Enough I drew some rigid lines

No more chocolates from a cad

 

My vases are all empty today

Nary a gas station flower in sight

Only a sweet dog at my side lay

A single wine glass filled this night

 

Don’t get me wrong, I love romance

And I’m a sucker for a good heart

But I want no man who drops his pants

In the back stall of a Quickie Mart

 

I may sound bitter to your ears

And if you judge me you’d be right

Too many false gestures o’er the years

From ones since told to go fly a kite

 

This cupid-arrow day is for the young

Those yet to be shot in the ass

But it might be best I hold my tongue

And hope I’ll attract a man with class

Thanks for reading, and Happy Valentine's Day to those less jaded. :)

Says a lot, and oh so honest.

Yeah, but I'm really not bitter... I don't think... :unsure2:  At least I can laugh at some of the choices I've made. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts, my friend. :hug:

I love your poem! Its tone is just right. And I definitely hope the guy you want crosses your path. 

Thanks, Parker. So do I, but it won't ever happen because of Valentine's Day. :) Cheers!

A True Valentine or a true lament :heart:

Perhaps not because of the day itself. But maybe just by a perfect chance.

If you imagine the qualities of the one you really want. They will show up when you’re not expecting it. That’s how I met my husband.

That's really nice to hear, my friend. I know exactly what I don't want, so I have had clarity for a while. Faith is hard, but we humans need it, and I am human. :)  Cheers, and thanks very much for sharing your thoughts with me. :hug:

Hey Gary, You were right about getting a laugh from this.  It sounds like a summary of my love life for my first several decades.  Hang in there.  I didn't find my soulmate until I was 60 years old.

Hey, Terry. I'm glad you found the humor in this, and I was fortunate enough to find one too, but age and time and location conspired against us. Life is about getting up and moving forward and making the hard choices, and the truth I live with is... that it is better to have loved and lost... than never to have loved at all. Thanks, buddy. :hug:

I just had to read this again.  I laughed my ass off with this stanza.

I hope you find your man with class.  I hope he doesn't give you a box of Cad-bury chocolates. 😄

Looking forward to new laments, but going on to Cozy Contemplations now.

Some laments can be amusing. If we ever lose the ability to laugh at ourselves, we are in trouble. :P  Thanks for reading this again, buddy. :hug:
