MORE TO LOVE
You know what? This February, during the month for love, there will be no gifts, no cards – nothing. Not to a woman from me.
To hell with this “love” thing. There is more to love than women, you know. Like High-Def televisions. Maybe next week I will buy an 80” plasma and send a thank you note to the former loves in my life. I love High Def. Till death do we part.
Maybe I will take a trip alone to Vegas. Yeh. Vegas. The women in Vegas love me. They have to. I pay them to. And I love them. I have to. I pay them. For the night anyway.
Maybe I will do the town on Valentine's Day. Make a reservation for one at the most romantic eatery. Then sit there, alone and pitiful-like, and make uncomfortable all the babes who are suckering their chump boyfriends and husbands into an expensive pig-out.
Maybe I will go shopping for a diamond at the local jeweler. Tie up the guy's entire evening, telling him that I want only the finest for the special girl I plan to marry and that money is no object. Then, while at the cash register, admit that I left my wallet on the night stand of a woman I met last night.
When the ex-wife left, I turned up all the toilet seats. This Valentine's Day, I believe I will unbolt the damn things and use them as picture frames.
The possibilities are endless for a single man intent on giving to himself all the gifts and fun and joy and pleasure that could have been shared with a lost love.
You're missing me now, aren't you, babes?

I like this, David. What clever ideas! Great comedy, with just the right amount of hint of sadness... I really like your idea of toilet seats turned into frames. Please post a picture of your chosen framed treasure.

Thanks Patti! You know, I wasn't serious about the toilet seats. At first. Your comment has me thinking, though. I might just do it! And you will be the first to see my new decor! Thanks again, Patti!

I don’t believe in mother’s day, valentines day and all the rest of it, I treat my mum and girl friend all the time, not just ones a year..

An artist cannot talk about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture. ~Jean Cocteau, Newsweek, 16 May 1955
