St Valentine's Day, of course, is a time when irresponsible Cupid armed with his curlicue bow and arrow flits around the atmosphere in search of unwary swains. I am eternally surprised, therefore, that our streets are not crowded with greedy merchants selling special Cupid Swatters for ten bucks each, possibly even portable packets of Cupid Flak that his targets can quickly toss into the air whenever they sense the winged nuisance overhead. Instead they invade the sidewalks with grimy buckets of frazzled roses, anemic and indifferent red, for which they demand a king's ransom; and a chamberlain's ransom on top of that if you require a bit of ribbon also. Cupid, meanwhile, hovers nearby, free from danger, waiting for his portion of the take.

My favorite music video ever about the Cupid is Supertramp "Take A Look At My Girlfriend"!! And I just love this holiday!
