I Think Cupid Needs Glasses

just something fun for Valentine's Day

 

What’s the deal with cupid?

Don’t get me wrong

He does some wonderful work

But sometimes I think

It’s time for glasses.

Shooting arrows

That hit the wrong mark,

I mean what is he?

A major league umpire.

Or maybe sometimes

He has one to many drinks,

That can happen

When you have

So much responsibility.

Maybe that baby with wings

Needs to take lessons

From Johnny Appleseed.

Or maybe he is just anxious

To spread some much love

To a world needing it.

What ever the case may be

Cupid sure has many stray arrows

That has caused a lot of pain

Which the world doesn’t need.

So little buddy boy

Let’s get that aim tried and true

So you can stop putting

People’s eye’s out

And making love blind.

Oh, a great take on the big mistakes we make in love!! I have sure had my share of them!!! smiles
Cute, Dale....really cute, and TRUTHFUL!! Cupid needs to have his glasses changed, or zap off the rose color tinting.
Something sure does interfere with his good judgment at times...maybe, he's had too much Valentine's Day candy, and has the wings weighted down.

LOVED THIS! Straight up, had me eagerly devouring each line :)

[WhiteWillow]

Oooooo, Anti-Valentine's Day poem! I'm glad someone did one of these. :)
You did an amazing take on it as well. I think more people need to see things in your perspective.

now I'm sure this Valentine’s day poem will not be on a box of chocolates. Great job lots of fun.

[SkinlessFrank]

Well, I've seen him miss the heart altogether and spear the occasional liver or spleen.

[Poetic Beauty]

I totally love this concept. I think cupid gets blurry vision from being intoxicated on love and he shoots the wrong people. This made ma laugh

so much not some much

[Kerry O'Connor]

Hahaha! Yes an anti-love poem for sure!

...stop putting people's eyes out and making love blind...

Well, what a nice twist for Valentines. hahaha I think he just gets so anxious and in a hurry. Or maybe his arrows shoot crooked. Dont know, but sure enjoyed reading this piece.
