About this poem
I consider this one a sarcastic attempt at the commercialization of Valentine’s Day…I remember from my earliest childhood memories of the giving of simple Valentine’s Day cards and the look on my poor parents face when I asked them to buy me some for the girls in my class…That’s how poor I was/am…Well…Maybe I was really poor then but I don’t feel that I am now…Maybe because I refuse to pay rent…lol…The 3 really screw people’s lives up and offer a helping hand to those whom they want to join them…IF your story is true My Heather…They must have wanted you pretty bad…Or was it just part of the 3’s fudge to deceive the blind sheep into believing you were/are 1 of theirs???Who can say…Seeing I won’t relinquish my copyrights to my substandard poetry…Maybe …Just maybe…They felt it easier to euthanize me and take that which I refuse to sell…Who can say…After all accidents do happen…
