valentine's day

The kids are selling roses for
Valentine’s Day for
$3
and they want
him to buy one for someone, but he
cannot decide for whom, or, rather,
he
has no one who’s a whom, then he
thinks and he thinks, and re-thinks,
because he does
want to buy
a rose for
someone, and he finally settles on
Sister Helga, who’s a whom only
for God, he figures, but still might
feel
left out when the all of Whoms down in
Whomville get theirs, figuring that
He won’t make a red
rose appear,
so he puts down three ones, and
signs the card, “God,”
and feels better, feels good.
He hopes
she
smiles.
