Valentine

Jairo Nemocon 1945 (Bogota)



I have always wondered  how moved became the first Man on Earth…
When he saw the first woman on Earth…
At the very beginning of the human race.

I married my wife the very first day I met her.

How generous was the first girl with her man?
I told my girl that she was my Valentine.
With no language…
What did he do about this?

Well…
Those were the days and nights when whistling was invented by man using our human lips…
Fí!... Fó!... Fá!... Fí!
He whistled.
Meaning: "You are my Valentine!"
She ignored the beautiful idiot…
Who startled her.

During millions of years whistles and grunts…
Were used by humans to communicate with each other.
Only during the last thousand years…
We…
The humans…
Have been able to say properly and lovingly…
"You are my: Valentine!"

I
Am: Jairo Nemocon.
