A Holiday Poem

Awkward Day

Valentine’s. What an awkward day
For us kids who have no dates.
We'll find no flowers on the table.
No cards, or chocolates with our names on the label.
What use do we have for Valentine's Day?
What is it's purpose, anyway?
To hug our friends when we walk down the hall?
Tell them we love them....
Yeah, that's not weird at all.
To give out boxes of candy hearts?
Why not wait a day...
Get them half price tomorrow at WalMart.
It seems that this day is quite a waste.
Why create so much awkwardness in this place?
So this year, I'm skipping Valentine's Day.
I think it will just be better that way.
