Saint Valentine's Day? Two Weeks Away! Poem by Denis Martindale

Don't panic, men! We've two weeks more! I've got my shopping done...
With my gifts bought and paid for sure! That's half the battle won!
God help the man if he's too late! God help him to survive!
He won't have much to celebrate... have mercy on his wife!

I'm doing fine... gifts hidden well... the restaurant's been booked...
She's got no reason then to yell... so my goose isn't cooked...
No need to tremble, I'm Okay... I've learnt what I must do...
But God help you, upon that day! Have mercy, Lord on YOU!

Fair warning, men! Two weeks to go! Don't panic, just stay calm...
Just fourteen days, so now you know... no need to come to harm...
If she still makes your life complete... she's really worth it, man!
Just play it cool, just smile so sweet... Just do the best you can...
