Valentine's Day - cum - Lunar New Year

It is double bonus for Chinese folks this year,
When lovers meet and families join for dinner,
The new moon peeps on the horizon in the sky,
Oranges in abundance, a tangy flavor wafts by.

Sweethearts yearn for bouquets and chocolates,
Kids claim their share of money in red packets,
Mothers prepare family feasts in their kitchens,
Dads warn guys, bring daughters home as virgins.

Cupid’s arrow makes its way right to the heart,
Feng Shui masters make future-telling a fine art,
As the dragon rules the sky in ancient folklore,
The tiger’s thunderous roar shakes earth’s core.
