That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 14, 2023

“Sorry, I can’t marry a man who’s prettier than I am.”

/// Now, the Question’s been popped— Yes or No.

He knows, down on one knee he should go.

But his trousers are tight.

If stretched more they just might

split, and then his shortcomings would show.

“We were made for each other. Considering we have the same parents.”

Don’t play hard to get with me, Charlot! That Maui Wowie set me back a pretty penny!

“Do you know how difficult it was to get even those flowers when I forgot what today is?”

You won’t believe the price of Roses this year.

“I truly appreciate the tender thought, Byron. But you DO know this is poison ivy!?”

“But Daphne – I’m taking you to the Tacco Bell for dinner,, too..surely that counts for something?”

Okay, okay, I’ll get you a Whitman’s Sampler.

“Oh Charles….You do so bore me. And now you bring me petunias from my own flower garden on Valentine’s Day. I can’t wait till we get married, we’ll be the perfect English couple!”

Apparently not everyone is excited about receiving a steak garnish leftover

“Is this the best you could do?”

But dearest, the florist shop closed at 6 p.m. today. How was I to know?

Oh Johnny, I don’t think I can marry you, with you everything is so small: a small ring, small flowers, a small..(wait for it)..bank account.

Are you trying to tell me something? These are forget-me-not flowers.

She is often pursued by brutes/

In period costume and boots/

But we who know her/

Know she’d vastly prefer/

Billionaires wearing business suits.

She cares little for what’s in one’s “jeans”/

Be it “bockwurst” – or nothing but beans.

He may dress like a Lord/

But he drives an old Ford../

She’s attracted to men of means.//

This suitor will fail in the end./

To defeat he is sure to descend../

The woman’s no fool/

She plays by that old rule:

“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend!”

“Hello young lovers, whoever you are, / I hope your troubles are few. / All my good wishes go with you tonight, / I’ve been in love like you.” From The King and I: Music by Richard Rogers, Lyrics (and book) by Oscar Hammerstein II – 1951.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

He knew that he must make a stand / But it did not go as he had planned / He said from the start / He just wanted her heart / But that’s not where he placed his left hand.

“Honey, put down the ficus and let me demonstrate this arm bar I learned in wrestling class.”

♪ ♫"I wanna make you swoon, baby, I wanna rock you with my righteous romance, I wanna set a mood, darling, but I’m sweating through the seat of these pants."♪ ♫

Allergy laden architect, Sneezy McSnots’s outdoor balconies within the confines of the house never caught on.

Restless sleeper Sarah had to have guardrails built around her extra extra extra firm mattress. An added benefit to which was that interested gentlemen were usually not willing to trod the extra extra narrow path to the bed only to awake in the morning with a terrible backache.

“You stole these out of my garden.”

" Honey, I’m sorry, Publix was out of roses. "

“No, these leaves are smaller and rounded. I’d say it’s poison oak.”

He’d gone to all that effort to dress the mannequin, but then he couldn’t bend that dang right arm in any direction at all!

When you give a bouquet that is made /

Of clusters of deadly nightshade/

She may be impressed/

And you’ve probably guessed /

That it’s not gonna get you l*id..

Yes or No?:

You SAID not to get you anything!

Now this Jiu Jitsu move is for very aggressive males…

He: But Dolores, please let me once again gaze upon…. She: That is the problem Horace you gaze to much and move so little!

Christine, I have given you flowers and candy, just touch it once it won’t hurt you.

I don’t think this is the seaweed eggroll—I’m sure I just saw it wriggle.

But this is the best position to grab that fine a$$ you have!
