Anti-Valentine's Day Chocolate GIVEAWAY!

We can't ignore it any longer. Chocolate prices started skyrocketing on New Year's Day, and stores are full of mini "I LUV U" t-shirts sported by stuffed animals so hideous looking it's difficult to decipher if they're bears or armadillos. Clearly I have issues. I also hate February 14th. So I've decided to channel my V-Day venom into a noble cause: giving out chocolate to you, my readers.

All you need to do is complete this statement, "Roses are..." in no more than 25 words (You don't need to count "roses are", so you actually have up to 27 words to play with). Leave your responses in the comments section. I'll keep this contest going for at least a few days, longer if there's good participation. You can write a poem, prose, haiku, limerick, or utter nonsense. 

I will send sweet packages to the one or two people whose entries make me laugh the loudest, with a preference for anti-Valentine's Day sentiment.

  1. Roses are flowers found in bushes with barbed branches. She didn't break my heart by pushing me into that bush. Keeping the chocolate did.

    24 letters - oh yeh. Big Daddy can taste the sweet chocolate covered victory.

  3. Alex is right, Cal should win. I hate Valentine's Day too right now, agh! Here's my not so good effort:

    Roses are grey
    Violets are grey.
    I'm colourblind
    And loathe lover's day!

  5. You guys make me blush and laugh. Love it! This is going to be difficult. I can't declare you a clear winner now Cal, I hope you understand. I've gotta get more entries. Love all your prose, flattery, poetry and nonsense, guys. THANK YOU!

  16. I’m always up for a challenge…here’s my feeble attempt/contribution:

    Roses are red
    I’m feelin’ blue
    ’Cause once again
    I got nothin’ from you

    Yeah, V-Day’s commercial
    Yeah, it’s crass
    But when you forget
    I could kick your ass

  17. So creative - another great batch of entries! Thank you, all. I think we're almost ready to put Hallmark out of business.

  18. Roses are stinky,
    They smell like old fart.
    I'd prefer a Twinkie,
    It's the way to my heart.
    Valentine's day ain't kinky -
    Cupid, keep your f*in dart!

  21. Dang I just stopped in to say Hi and look what's goin on! Rogyn, I too vote for Cal although Amanda gets straight to the point. Thanks for the kind words you left on my last post. I appreciate and enjoy your site whether it's dipped in chocolate or not!

  22. Laughing, I feel the hate. Great job.

    Chuck, thanks for dropping by. You're in my thoughts.

    Al, an actual haiku? I'm impressed. (I don't even know what a haiku is but figured someone else might.) I told MsA "corny" must be what she's getting at. What else could it be?

    Thanks for your entries, all.

  23. Haiku... a Japanese word meaning a very tired (slash lazy) poet... (less lines to write) - ;)

    Not being a big chocolaty fan and to save you postage, i shall kindly withdraw... but wish you all fun..

    :)

  24. A Nerd Because I Know This:
    A haiku is a Japanese poem that is three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables each.
    And just because it's Japanese doesn't mean you have to mention dinosaurs. Or sex robots.
    But, I guess you could.
    Sex robots please me
    They fulfill all my wishes
    Oh, no! Godzilla!!!
    NOTE: If you already knew what a haiku was, you don't need to admit it.

  25. Thanks, Anthony.

    Al, if I were to award a prize for the comment that's not an entry but makes me laugh heartily, you guessed it. This is it! Thank you.

    PS I really didn't know what a haiku was/is. I just wanted to sound as though I did by suggesting someone write one.
