The War on Valentine's Day

It seems that lately Valentine

Is taking fire from all sides,

From those who won't spend a day on that stuff,

and from others who say one day isn't enough.

For some single folks, it's insult unbidden.

In some faiths, it is just forbidden.

Though I am single, it's with pride,

So I've no need to take a side.

For candy, any excuse I receive

Is more than good enough for me.
