I was looking through some old poetry and ran across this Valentines day one...LOL, my sincere appologies to Balladeer, Toerag and Christopher  When Cupid Lost His Wings It was a February day That I remember well A day that’s clear here in my mind The day that cupid fell Oh that funny little cherub boy Was playing with my mind Shooting arrows here and there In hopes my love he’d find He was working hard on overtime He was on a roll But all that flapping of his wings Was bound to take it’s toll And I was getting so confused Arrows flying left and right By the time the clock struck 9 PM I was on date three that night The 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 outside to find 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 Gave swat with his bare hand The bee became so angry That it bit him on the rear And Toerag in haste to 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 broke, 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 ~ Ruth www.angelfire.com/pa/OriginalMinds/index.html |

You made me smile for sure, picturing poor Cupid in his distress (among other things LOL). What a terrific, creative Valentine's story this is!To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
