Like Christmas, the hype that surrounds Valentine's Day really narks me. The shops are full of plastic flowers, nasty red things and cards that shout 'WIFE'. I don't want some over-priced chocolates in a heart shaped box, I don't want an edible bra, and you can forget it if you think I'm buying you a leopardskin thong with 'I'm horny' plastered all over it.
Join me in a small protest by writing an anti-Valentine poem, or a few words about the whole over-commercialised sorry mess that has taken over a day that should be celebrated quietly with love.
Only one rule - no syrup!
Roses are red
Poppies are too
and I need the opium
to keep me with you
Your turn...... and you had better try hard otherwise I will be forced to unleash my inner-sop and cover you with wet kisses!
.
And here they come....

Nose is all red,
eyes black and blue,
sugary treats
end up in the loo.
Older, no wiser,
flabby and grey,
have a terrific
St. Valentine's day.

I love you
I love you not.
You are cold
And I am hot.
or
Quick, quick,
I'm gonna be sick
I'd rather have farts
Than more bloody hearts.
or
Bitter and twisted,
Yeah that's me,
Ugly inside and out.
But still too good,
That's understood,
Of that there is no doubt.

If you loved me like you say,
then you'd want more of me,
so I'm going to eat and eat,
the dark and the milky ones,
to become gloriously fatter!

To My Second Wife
a very short poem by maht
You will never hold a candle
To the ashes on the mantle

Instead of just belching
I've taken up felching*
Its turned me quite gay
on St Valentines Day
*Look it up says the Mut
(I did, and it is an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning 'flower arranging')

Old and Married
.
Don't take me to dinner
The flowers will die
I won't eat the candy
so why even try?
.
We're older than dirt
We've been through this before
I won't wear a skirt
So there's the door
.
A card would be nice
But I won't keep it dearly
We'll have steak and a beer
and turn in early
.
You know I love you
I wash your socks...
and if you love me...
well a night off ROCKS!

Posies of roses
scented, unlike your toeses.
Heart-shaped chocs. OMG!
You snarfed the whole box!
Passion aflame
What? You've been on the game?!
So much for love
Bugger Valentine, it's time you got the shove.

Minx: Just posted a very short one onto my blog. I may do a longer one tonight.
I'll shall ponder on that one for a while...
He loves me
He loves me snot
He picks me
He picks me snot
I didn't say it would be intelligent....
So mine isn't too syrupy? I worry about appearing soft.
No, no, Maht, I think you just stopped short of being soppy.

I just love Roberta's last one - that made me chuckle!
I love them all, (except 'that' word in Mutley's). Thank you.

Bugger Valentine, it's time you got the shove.
A new computer
could be quite romantic.
Decorated with little pink bows. Glass of bubbly
standing by it....
They brought tears of mirth to mine eyes. Great work, everyone!
But now, someone has to tell me who Saint V is???
kooibbq - that was word veri. Anyone knows afrikaans. You can tell the rest what that means ;)
Love is shit
and so is Valentine's Day...
Sorry Minx, I tried, but this is all I could come up with. And sorry to be so negative.
I loved everyone else's though. Brilliant.
Why it color black? its look like a protest or a black valentine.
