(My appologies to Chris, Balladeer and Toerag for the use of their names) When Cupid Lost His Wings It was a cold day in November I remember well A day that’s clear here in my mind The day that cupid fell Now that little cherub boy Was playing with my mind Shooting arrows here and there In hopes my love he’d find He was working over time He was on a roll But all that flapping of his wings Was bound to take it’s toll I was getting so confused Arrows flying left and right When the clock struck 9 PM I was on date three that night First was charming Balladeer A gentle man of course And Christopher who played the knight And rode in on his horse The final one was Toerag Who knocked upon my door I looked out to see him there And thought, “Oh no, no more” I opened up the door to see Him smiling there at me And in his hands a bunch of flowers Which around them buzzed a bee “Look out I said,” a bit too late As the bee began to land Upon Toerag who unaware Swatted it with his bare hand The bee became so angry It bit him on the rear And Toerag in hasty escape Threw the flowers in the air Poor old cupid flying high With duty on his mind Was busy taking careful aim To all else he was blind The flowers hit his tired wings And threw them all off beat He lost his balance in the sky Crashed at poor Toerag’s feet His wings were broken, his bow was bent There were tears there in his eye From angel status he had gone To just a naked guy He hid his full embarrassment Among some other things Oh it wasn’t a very pretty site When cupid lost his wings ------------------ Alis volat propriis [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 11-03-1999).] |

Dear Ms. Owl... This notice is for you to appear in court for using the copywrited name of Toerag in such a slanderous way......(It's usually on Post Office walls in a sorta "wanted" by the law way). You silly gal you....I would never hurt something like a little cupid type bee yanno.....LOL...nice job...great thoughts put into words..now then, take off your clothes and let me take the place of that little cupid with his "arrow" or the bee with his stinger...ta hell with cupid and his little wings.....I'll show ya what to "spread"...and you'll still fly high....and it won't be your wings!!!!!!!!!!!! But I do love to eat honey yanno....got some....honey? [This message has been edited by Toerag (edited 11-03-1999).] |

Toe...LOL, not going to touch that one with a ten foot pole, I hear suthern has a nastly right hook. Suthern...not to worry, got my eyes and wings set on someone already, Toes just too good of a sport to not have used him in this one. Tara, thanks for the phrase Kevin, watcher, RG, Iloveit, Pepper and Martie, thanks glad it gave you a laugh [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 11-03-1999).] |

Why, Ruth my girl, I didn't know You'd had a date with Chris and Toe. From what you say to me, it sounds Like Chris was there to horse around And if, by chance, you saw the bare nub Of Toe, that sill little cherub I'd say you finished with the worst And, at least, had saved the best for first! |

Oh Balladeer you might be right For that darn Toe ruined my night And Chris' horse it left a pile That was quite large and smelled real foul And poor old cupid, what a sight No longer has his wings for flight For all his errands, he'll now be late Hey, I think I'll ask him for a date Denise, thanks ------------------ Alis volat propriis [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 11-03-1999).] |
