Heart Shaped Box

Popped into town today to pick up a birthday card for dad and there at the front of the shop was a scarlett siren alerting me to my glaring status as a single man. Valentine's cards. Not just cards either there were glittery heart mobiles, kitsch heart shaped snow globes, fluffy teddies cuddling squashy hearts, heart shaped cardboard boxes, in fact the whole shop was one big ode to that hollow muscular organ that maintains the circulation of blood about the body, oh yeah and love. Well I have a heart I thought, a big strong one which has taken a few knocks but is still fully functional and with that positive thought I took to another card shop which had yet to display a sickly sweet display of fake fur and crimson. I maybe single again this year but refuse to let a few heart shaped helium balloons give me nightmares!
