Stuck in the r c�. � dle by Shelley McPhee Roses are red, Violets are blue, If you'll be my valentine, Then I'll love you. These poetic words often have little meaning for people today. They are often thought of as nonsensical little rhymes and the sugar-coated sentimentality, typical of Valentine's Day has been forgotten. In elementary school, Valentine's Day was a great event. It was one sure way of testing your popularity by the number of cards that sat on -your desk and it was finally a chance to tell that cute boy in the next row that you'd like to "burst his bubble',,' be the "apple of his eye." However, by the time the teenage years rolled around, the boxes of 30 punch -out cards had disappeared and anyone suspected of celebrating Valentitle:s Day would beautomatically shunned by his peers an&called a sissy. By this age, even the hot little Valentine Hearts that always turned your tongue red had lost their appeal and the most emotional message one could receive would be, "Let's fool around tonight, my parents will be out of sight." This sweet, warm day that has been set aside for lovers and those poor unfortunates who are dying to get their hands on a lover is now becoming obsolete. Aside from the predictable boxes of chocolates and bouquets of flowers, Valentine's Day is largely ignored by many, probably because it doesn't offer many material gains. . Although it is a day to tell your loved ones how much you appreciate them, in our modern society many feel that there's not much to gain from such emotional displays. Unlike Christmas, there's no generous supply of gifts to collect and it can' compare to the parties and midnight kisses at New Year's Eve. It doesn't give us a holiday like Canada Day Someho.w, I feel that people have forgotten how to care or at least ppenly show it, and now February 14 is no more important than February 13 or 15. In our world so full of discontent and hatred, there should be more days like February 14 and people should learn to open up and say that they like each other. However until they learn to do this an appropriate Valentine message should be, February 14th I think of you, Although you're not my birthday, I guess's 'box'ofLaura Secords will do.
