Cupid's Sense of Humor

By tigerlilly

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

That chubby little cherub, Cupid with his bow... must have a sense of humor to mismatch couples so. He must get a chuckle when he lets fly the dart; blinding men and women to all eyes but the heart. My neighbor stands at six feet, her lover just five four... the banker is a thin man, with wife 300 pounds or more. The barber in her shop here, loves a balded guy... while the local vegetarian, dates a butcher on the sly. The doctor's married well to a hypochondriac... who's dating our new florist, with allergy attacks. And as for me I must confess, I am guilty of the same, closing eyes to facts... when love called out my name. He spoke of vision to me, but he meant T.V., he spoke of lifetime's channels, that means remote to me. Love's fine wine soon turned to his favorite beer... Hon, don't forget the pizza, 'cause Friday night is here. Frilly lacy satin nightgowns are items I don't keep... flannel jammies warm my toes, when he only wants to sleep. Though I laughingly complain about love's lack of foresight, I'll stick with who I have... 'cause he still turns on my light!all comments and critiques welcomed :) Written February 14th, 2002 © on Feb 13 2002 11:52 PM PST   18 • 0 • 14
