What would Valentine's Day without a reference to it on the Marksman Online Blog. Well your scribe was all "scribed out" on Saturday evening and so started trolling the internet for inspiration. This came from a fellow Christian Jack Zavada, who is a regular contributer to About.Com. Enjoy his quirky poem, written from a male perspective. Men for the Master do not take this to heart.
Jack Zavala writes: "Some people love Valentine's Day, others hate it. I'll venture a guess that more women are on the "love it" side and more men are on the "hate it" side of the issue. "A Manly Valentine's Day" is a funny Valentine's Day poem dedicated to all the single Christian men who would just as soon see Valentine's Day wiped off the face of the calendar.
A Manly Valentine's Day
My Valentine's plans
are already set.
I'll make it a day
that she'll never forget.
Those sissy limousines
are too cramped for us.
My pickup truck's as big
as a Tyrannosaurus.
I'll bring a stepladder
so she can climb in.
That bit o' chivalry
should earn me a grin.
We'll eat at a place
that don't have lobster bibs.
She'll be dazzled
by Lumpy's House of Barbecued Ribs.
No tea rooms with candles
and foo foo perfume.
We'll shoot a rack of pool
at the Boom Boom Room.
We'll swing by the refinery;
that's one scenic drive.
Then it's time for the last show
of Die Hard 5.
When I kiss her good night
she'll be plumb swept away.
Now how's that
for one special Valentine's Day?

Mr Zavala those Valentines tactics would not work on our South African ladies. They want roses and affection and plenty of TLC.
