Valentine's Day On Steroids

Lovey-dovey love birds flying in the air. Singing the sweet melodies of love with such flair. Dancing with pleasure and lots of excitement. Embracing, caressing and kissing with enticement. Candlelight dinner for the romance to flare. Red roses, dark chocolates, fancy cards everywhere. Such a waste of money, effort and time to mingle. Couldn't it be less celebrated and more simple? Is Valentine's day on steroids or I'm just a jealous single! Date: 01/27/2016 Note: For the contest (Valentine Schmalentine) by Nicola Byrne. *Placed Second*

A cool chuckle you got out of me on this one, Afzal. I agree w/your side of the debate though. The title even was funny. Nice mental poke in the ribs. L & P ~ always.
