 When Cupid Lost His Wings It was a cold February day 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 By the time the clock struck 9 I was on date three that night First was charming Balladeer A gentleman 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 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 To land at 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 I tell you it wasn’t a pretty site When cupid lost his wings < !signature--> Have you ever noticed That the words... "Goodbye" "I'm sorry" "I love you" Are so easy to pronounce ...Yet so hard to say ~Javan [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 02-04-2000).] |

Too bad that cupid lost his wings to land so roughly on the floor it's about now the doorbell rings me waiting to become date number four. Couldn't resist! Nice Poem, DH |

Hoot: I remember this as well and made me laugh then as well and them..*g* HUSG The grape passes through the press to yield wine. Your life must pass through the press of passion and pain to yield the wine of wisdom.. |
