Valentine's day, such a silly contrivance. Remembering school days when everyone would get penny cards from everyone else with nasty little sweet hearts to eat. ICK! Insincere mandatory love. Sort of like confession- one can be a jerk all year but with a couple of bob and a phrase, is forgiven another year of jerky behaviour.
Another winner! Also wanted to say the first thought I had when I looked at your Dance of Life post was the Winter Olympics! Somehow the image symbolizes the energy of Earth ~ hopefully there will be less global warming during the upcoming Winter Games!
Dave - I seriously hope you are not thinking of sending three Valentine cards - and if so I hope they are all three for the same woman - and if so I hope that woman is your wife!!
All Thanks everyone for a pretty comprehensive set of comments. My thoughts, too, Raj. Wow, Kass, I'm all of a dither! Well, I think there might be, Gwei, but I'll spin it out as long as I can! Starvation causes greed, I've heard Jinksy. I read of one school where the head has banned Valentine cards because love confuses the pupils - perhaps it's actually the staff who sre confused, eh Linda Sue? Thanks for all those comments Helen. I especially like the idea of athletic skeletons. Exactly, Storialist. Actually, I'm not sending any, Weaver - or expecting any. Marinela: Welcome to the blog and thanks. Ronda: agreed! DUTA. Absolutely.

The double meaning
of Dave King's Valentine heart
pumped delight through mine.
Oh Dave is there no end to your wit and philosophy - here's hoping not!
Shows how greedy people are today - or may, starved of love?

I love this one.
The whole poem hangs on the word "gain." :)

Not much, me thinks!
I like the Weaver of Grass's comment and am of the same opinion.

Oh, to have so many people to whom one could send a card.
