It's February's Turn

Party planning commences 

While we’re in the tranches

Beyond sadistic

Left defenseless

Abuse of power 

Reign of terror

Minute by minute

Hour by hour

But the show must go on 

How many kids in your class? 

Let’s get the Valentine’s done 

So we can move on 

And stay pretending 

The world we

Spin on

Doesn’t feel like a fraud

Or like it’s ending—

Honey, hold on—
