Hearts and Flowers

What is all this fuss about having "booked a table" for this evening? How do you know that she even likes snooker? And then there is sending flowers to women who are still alive. Valentine's Day should be moved permanently to Ash Wednesday:

Roses are red,
The colour of rust;
Remember, O Man,
That thou art dust.

In any case, not all roses are red. And violets are violet. So there. The Flower-Crowned Skull of Saint Valentine may be venerated at the Basilica of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, in Rome. Far more edifying than anything else today, as I am sure that we can all agree. Ora pro nobis.
