Valentine Indulgences ….. [selfishness? ; Shopping; Avarice (Oops! That's Means Selfishness): Moderate In Length; Fiction; No Humor; Loneliness? ? ] Poem by Bri Edwards

The day before Valentine's Day, she goes out shopping.
She has several gifts in mind, so she goes store hopping.
To Victoria's Secret she first does go, her girlish figure in tow.
She means to purchase panties and other ‘secret things' to show ……
off her body.

[[But first she cut off another car …. to win a close parking space.
She felt the need to hurry, ……to buy her satins and lace.]]

She's gone to a large California mall; there is NO snow.
She carries the little ‘Secrets' bag, swinging it to and fro.
Her next stop is a perfume shop, to buy a fragrance, musky.
The shop clerk winks and tells her: "It will attract a man [husky]."

[[She looked down at the clerk, from atop her four inch heels,
and laughed a haughty laugh, caring not what the young clerk feels.]]

Her third and last stop is at a candy shop, Le Chocolatier.
Tomorrow is V-Day, and she prefers candy to fancy beer.
A "man-of-size" is buying his wife a heart-shaped gift.
"She" says: "I hope your wife isn't YOUR size. Catch my drift? "

[The man ignores her, as does the clerk.]

So, her shopping done, she heads on home to …..no one.
But she doesn't let THAT spoil her evening of secret "fun".

She dresses in her new panties, skimpy bustier, and robe;
she dabs perfume where only "intimate friends" may probe;
she breaks open the chocolate truffles and savors each one.

She's SURE she is now having …….Valentine's Day Eve fun.
