Roses are red my love

This is a shout to all married middle-aged men to not forget that special valentine wife in your life today. 

The standard safe practice is to bring home a dozen roses.  Cheapo middle-aged men might not want the shrink their fat wallet with a dozen roses, instead opting for a nice greeting card or a small box of See’s candies.

Whatever your trick is of getting the job done and staying off the couch, you may be searching for something a bit cleverer, something that’s creative, makes you vulnerable and requires more effort on your part.

This middle-aged man has his own, think-outside-the-box, idea and has been practicing behind the scene for some time in preparation for today’s big day.

What might this be?

A karaoke-style delivery of an old-school song from long ago sung the great Bobby Vinton, who has been described as the most successful love singer of the early rock and roll era.

Hey middle-aged man, today’s your big day.  Clear your throat, take a swig of water, grab your mic and sing to your little lady, roses are red my love.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum
