St Valentine's Day

[The Great Scribbler]

Valentine's Day my benighted soul!
O but I loathe it beyond human belief!
A load of lovesick stupid shits
Buying ugly common cards to send each other
With sloppy sentimental lovey-dovey doggerel;
And being ripped off in third-rate restaurants
With fourth-rate food at extra high prices!
God in Heaven, but it makes me sick!
How fortunate is the man with no one to love
And with no one who pretends to love him!
No need to waste money on on meaningless crap
And on words which will turn sour by March!
I shall spend the fourteenth of February
Sitting watching a violent DVD from Blockbuster
And guzzling a bottle or two of expensive wine
By myself, as usual. So envy me.

Lol, that read like something I would hear from a regular customer in a convenience store, ranting about the crappy Valentine's merchandise.

Well, it was actually a conversation I had with another chap in a public urinal. Similar smell to a convenience store, I suppose.
