To: The lovely ladies of the GenFor
From: LEUR the insensitive
You must think me heartless
And so very unkind
Forgive me for being smartless
I forgot your Valentine[/b]
Even a single rose nicked from a neighbor's garden is better than nothing, but it is the thought that counts. It is better to experience the little moments of love every day than to get nothing all year except on Valentine's Day, and only then because it is "expected".

And here, a pragmatically appropriate love song from Todd Snider...
You oughta know by now this love of mine is real
Honey, words just can't describe the way I feel
And even though we just met, I'm so glad the date is set
And years from now I would bet, we'd be together still
But just in case
Just in case
Now, this morning I went by my lawyer's place
I didn't think you would mind, here honey
Sign this dotted line, what's yours is yours
And what is mine will always be mine
And just in case
Well, you know that I can't love you enough
But I also can't afford to lose half of my stuff
There's no doubt in my mind, these ties that we're about to bind
Will hold us both together any time it gets too tough
But just in case
And just in case
This morning, I swung by my lawyer's place
I didn't think that you would mind, here dumplin'
Sign this dotted line, what's yours is yours
And what is mine will always be mine
And just in case
Just in case

I was at this carnival just a few years ago.
No big deal, Ferris wheel, the same old stuff you know.
I wandered around the grounds until I found this little tent
A man outside made a speech, and this is how it went:
She walks, she talks,
She crawls on her belly like a reptile.
It was the same old line except for one part,
Said it don't cost no money, you got to pay with your heart
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
Well I went inside and I looked around for a seat.
The lights went low, and the drums played a beat.
Then this girl comes out, dressed in a scarf and a sneeze.
She did a little dance that made me weak in the knees.
She danced like her back had no bone
While the band played a tune called the Main Street Moan.
She smiled a smile the whole world could see.
Then she turned her head, and she looked straight at me.
I must have jumped at least six feet in the air,
And when I came down, that girl wasn't there.
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
And out comes this dude with curly red hair
He had a big bushy beard, he was built like a bear.
He said you stop all your shouting, there's no more to the show
And if you wanna breathe right, you all better go.
I didn't hang around, I headed straight for the door,
But on my way out, I heard that big bear roar
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
Every night that that show played, I was right there.
I stayed out of reach of that mean red bear.
And it was just like the man had said in his speech at the start,
'cause when the carnie left town it took a piece of my heart.
And I still get a funny feeling deep down in my bones,
Every time I hear a band play that Main Street Moan.
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
