Day After Valentine's

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)

Rhymed
Happens many times after every year
Lost count of every broken heart
Promises made that were dear
Disappeared after each swallowed sweet-tart

Cupid is the culprit
Every fourteenth day of February
Bow shots sting like a poisonous love dart
Inflicting pain strictly coronary

Florist cleans up after final delivery
Restaurants sweep up each bottle cork
But who'll restore a romantic memory
If after Valentine's Day romance didn't work
