zodiac13 Feb 2006

I DID have some idea at the start that the poem was going to have something other to do with Valentine's than the date. But there are so many obstacles: for one, I drank two beers writing this, a first for me and definite no-no; for another, Valentine's Day wasn't even a holiday then, as far as I can tell, so nix on him referencing it.

The truth is simply that I would like to relate it to Valentine's somehow. (This is the first of two planned parts, the second being about Cook dying in Hawaii, which also happened in Feb 14.) The easiest way I see to go about it is that Frank's the valentine to the Irish, the offering that reveals nothing. That's kind of where I see the guts-offering part going, but like I said, I was a little buzzed by that point. Any suggestions?
