THINGS AIN’T WHAT THEY USED TO BE

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Valetines are depicted as ephemeral things,

Svelte creatures with gossamer wings,

Or chubby cherubs with Cupid’s dart

To pierce the centre of the truelove’s heart.

They feed on Hope, anonymous cards

And loving words from incipient bards.

For them, no need of fizz or chocs

Or throbbing hearts on colourful socks.

In real life it’s not the same –

(Blame it all on the Celebrity Game).

No simple pleasures will suffice:

Not fizz but champers served on ice.

Where once upon a time a simple posy

Spoke of Love and a future rosy,

Now it’s roses all the way,

But cheerfully the stricken pay.

 And so, my Dearest Valentine,

Please forget expensive wine

And give to me my heart’s desire,

To show the love you do inspire

In me, a Bouquet of Kisses.

With deepest love, from same old Missus!

PRAYERS PLEASE

Prayers please for the repose of the soul of Joanne Robinson, who died during the week after a long illness. It was a blessing that her brother-in-law, Fr Andrew Robinson, was able to minister to her towards the end of her life. We also ask your prayers for Fr Tom Molloy, CSsR, who is in the Royal undergoing investigations as to why he has been in such pain recently.
