An history of Valentine's Day!

Here's to the one in my big jungle who has had the most colourful and happening Valentine's Day history, Beats, the checked rabbit! He had been vested with this honorable title based on his performance and action on the past four Valentine's Days. Am sure if one peeped further back, they would, for sure, come across more colours and more action!
So let me see, in 2002, he wasn't a checked rabbit then. In one of her numerous moods of fancy, his sweet Valentine demanded that he be adorned in the reddest shirt available in the world. Beats, to hold every honour to his lady's fanciful moods, set out on his cart to find the reddest shirt. What adventure happened on that cart ride, is a story for another day, but the shirt was indeed on his back when he turned up at her doorstep that evening with 25 long stemmed Red Roses, all for the lady and much to the lady's pride at possessing the most obedient partner in the big jungle!
Then came 2003, he wasn't a red rabbit anymore, in fact he was most blue in his moods. But then came around him five little angels, each from a different corner of the jungle and each with 5 long stemmed Red Roses for Beats. Beats switched from blue to merry instantly on receiving 5 long stemmed Red Roses from each of the angels, making it a 25 for him again! In gratitude or maybe mirth, he rushed them to the bowling Rice Bar in the jungle, where whoever spotted Beats sporting his 5 angels on his self, looked up at him in respect and in awe and some in envy and few in pity!
2004 seemed determined to see Beats in a more action-packed Valentine's Day than 2002 and 2003. It made me wonder if the years were competing against each other to see who'd get Beats to have the most happening Valentine's Day of all! His lady love, she said 'come to the bridge by the river Terry at half past five, sweet Beats' and off ran Beats with his shining tail between his legs to the bridge by the river Terry. He had almost reached the bridge when his lady love, she said 'no not the bridge but lets meet Beats, by the Casino at six'. Off ran Beats to meet his lady love by the Casino, he thanked his lucky star Gemini for the additional time for it had slipped his mind, to buy that 25 long stemmed Red Rose pack. As he approached the Casino with his 25 long stemmed Red Roses, his lady love she said 'not the Casino too my Beats, it has to be the Chancery'. Beats puffed and panted but still carried on to the Chancery, it was his lovely lady love after all and he'd do anything for her so what was hopping from Casino to Chancery with 25 long stemmed Red Roses in arm. To cut a longer story a bit, he dined with his lady love under the gaze of the lucky star Gemini and many others. 'Twas an amazing dinner under the Ebony tree!
And then it was 2005. Beats was spotted in a fashionable lounge bar with a partner. No wait, there were many more. Beats was spotted with partners beating. So, Beats was beating the dance floor with his partners and all their partners to the tunes of Disco-Tisco. There was more to the celebrations of St. Valentine's Day that year but not all can be revealed given the confidentiality tags I was made to sign up at the lounge bar. They give you all this information of who is with whom and all that only if you donot mention which lounge bar and shroud the real names and most of the activities under clouds of imagination. So, my friend, you are free to imagine what else happened that night to Beats with his partners and their partners at the lounge bar, go ahead!
Well, well, 2006 it is. I will not ruin my Valentine's Day, prowling around to find out what is happening to Beats today, but I shall update you at the earliest once I myself chance upon the information! And here's to a happening St. Valentine's Day to you!
