My St. Valentine’s Day Advice          [Part 1 of My Valentine's Day Trilogy]

 

A poem by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro

 

Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance!

 

 

VERSE 1

 

In the second month, on the fourteenth day,

 

That’s when we honor St. Valentinus.

 

But if we were to ask for a blessing today,

 

I’m thinking he’d surely decline us.

 

 

VERSE 2

 

You see…

 

The ladies would like a little romance.

 

While the guys are singing: "Let’s get it on."

 

But in this poem I’ll give you a chance.

 

For compromise, between dusk and dawn.

 

 

CHORUS

 

So…

 

Buy your girl some chocolate covered cherries.

 

Then hand pick a fragrant bouquet.

 

But follow the lead of those missionaries,

 

When you celebrate Valentine’s Day.

 

 

VERSE 3

 

You’ll know that you’re in good with Cupid,

 

When your sweet thang gives you permission.

 

But while that archer’s young, he ain’t stupid.

 

Yeah, he knows all about the positions.

 

 

VERSE 4

 

So guys and gals, here’s the way to insure,

 

You're on pace for marital love monumental:

 

No Valentine’s Day ‘round the world’ tours!

 

Keep it face to face, parallel, and horizontal.

 

 

CHORUS

 

So…

 

Buy your girl some chocolate covered cherries.

 

Then hand pick a fragrant bouquet.

 

But follow the lead of those missionaries,

 

When you celebrate Valentine’s Day.

 

 

VERSE 5

 

Now some will think I sound like The Pope.

 

They feel such a law is unconstitutional.

 

To those I offer a few words of hope:

 

“At 12:01 it's back to business as usual.”

 

 

CHORUS

 

So…

 

Buy your girl some chocolate covered cherries.

 

Then hand pick a fragrant bouquet.

 

But follow the lead of those missionaries,

 

When you celebrate Valentine’s Day.

 

 

The End
