Empty Shelves For Empty Hearts

Today is the day after
And we've put it all away
The single heart and rose
We couldn't sell yesterday

Today the end of romance
Most unconditionally
Tesco wants it shelves back
Other things to sell, you see

Don't even bother looking
For it only disappoints
To know the the only card that's left
Will just give you clubcard points

Chocolate's now for Easter
As are the cuddly toys, I fear
If you need to buy your loving
Same time, same place, next year...

Why do we buy our romance
From the nearest convenience store
We all have it in abundance
And it costs far less for sure

I just know that we can do it
Without having to pay
Let's try romance throughout the year
Not just on Valentines Day

But try telling that to Tesco
They're glad their shelves are bare
For there's no doubt. Love? Sold out
And they've got branches everywhere

They're feeling the love alright
Stop whining, you ungrateful whelps
Your love's improved our profits
And every little helps...

Try to know a little about a lot. Not a lot about little.

Take A Break

Big houses, fast cars and all these delights. Are now a necessity in some people's lives. I want it less grand. And more down to earth. I actually have a demand. For a more relaxing pace.

In Need

Hello everyone we need your help. It's unfair the cards some of us are dealt. The struggles we go through everyday. Just for people to say. 'Look at that freak'. 'Their a right geek'.

So iv been getting a lot of stick, For writing things that make others feel thick. So here's a poem that they can relate to, Not that I'm aiming this at any of the opuss crew.

Ramble

18+ .. Btw this flicks from a view similar to mine; to a satirical viewpoint from perspective of others.. And some places in between, but on the whole it's rambling nonsense....
