It’s official then
The price of love
Last year
The average amount that the average Joe
Spent
Just over fifty-two pounds
What a bargain
And what does this say of me?
Who bought a card for less than five crisp ones
Who seethed and sniped throughout the work day
Who came home to belated flowers, a note, a hug
And what price is love this year?
On 14 February: just £53?
The rest of the year: kindness, forgiveness, steady solid loving
Priceless
