It’s not that I don’t like flowers
But a dozen roses I just don’t need
Especially on Valentines Day
Contributing to the retail greed
They’re hawking roses at the mall
They hawk them on the air
They hawk them in my grocery store
But they’re really cheaper there
I will not fall into their trap
They won’t make me feel guilty
The last time that I bought them
In three days they all were wilty
Although I like an idea I had today
It could be next year’s retail craze
Pack a dozen beers in a heart shaped box
And spend Valentine’s Day in a haze
I’m glad my sweetie understands
She gave me my Valentine’s huggie
Instead of red roses that just don’t last
I got her an “As Seen on TV” Snuggie
To those who think that’s tacky
Or think it simply lacks romance
One size fits all but with two inside
To keep warm you don’t hafta wear no pants

There's no reason to expect special things just
because retailers sell us the idea. ET

I think my two Ed brothers should start sending that to me every Valentine's Day - and for my birthday, and for Christmas, too!
