\nThis is a reprise of a Fling challenge offered this time of year in 2009. \u00a0That was before I kept track of the number, but it was about Fling #16. All the images are the same, except the Fling and Finger posters and the CPC banner. \u00a0I even kept the same font size and boldness originally used.<\/em><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Valentine’s Day is coming up, and already there has been the usual flood of Valentiny and even Valenormous blogs.\u00a0 The subject of the moment is romantic love.<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

But what about other kinds of love? <\/font>The things that make life worth living on a daily basis<\/font> that do not involve romance and all that mushy stuff.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

At this time of year, some people, especially in northern climes, tend to have fewer of those kinds of things than usual.\u00a0 Maybe that’s one reason February was the month Valentine’s Day was assigned to, because otherwise it seems too often to come up short in the “things we love” department, as well as in the number of days.<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong>But there are still some things to love about life in February.\u00a0 After all, for instance, February has no less than\u00a0four special days in it.\u00a0 There’s Groundhog Day on the 2nd, Lincoln’s birthday on the 12th, Valentine’s Day on the 14th\u00a0and Washington’s birthday on the 22nd.\u00a0 I dare any other month to match that, even those lucky enough to have 31 days! <\/strong>What other month can say it has the birthdays of the top two Presidents of all time, a day that is Humpday no matter which day of the week it falls on,\u00a0AND a gopher?<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

So let’s go look for things to love about February and put them in a poem! <\/font>Any form or freeform<\/font><\/font>, however you prefer to express what you love about living in February! <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

February: Bad Poetry Month?<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

February’s so much fun
\n’cause I don’t have to mow the lun.
\nAnd I don’t have to shovel snow.
\nOh wait, I do.\u00a0 Way to go
\nBob, now you can’t even keep your friggin’ months straight!
\nBetter watch it or next you’ll be peeing your pants! Oh drat, too late…
