Half Price Love


It was Valentine's Night in Somerfield, Aberystwyth.
You can tell how long ago it was because the shop is now a Home Bargains having been a Co-Op & Budgen in the interim.
I had popped down to get some Bics (Product Placement) that nick!
It was 7.30pm on February 14th 2009 and there to the right was a stand with cards and balloons and hearts and things.
And there above in Pink were two signs: Half Price & Love
Half Price Love
Then what price full love?
Which got me to thinking and to writing this ode to a commercial money grabber called Valentine who just like his cousin Nicholas excludes those who have no love!
Is no love better than half price love?
I don't know!
Best check your change to find out.
