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.

This was cute. Cupid's bad aim is to blame for love gone bad! Good write, I really enjoyed it.

[Haruki]

Ha-ha! How woderful! This made my day. Great work.

[~angelalala~]

isn't that the truth. i vote for the too many drinks thing. to have that job, i'd have to drink too. he's hit me several time with stray arrows, damn that little cupid. a very witty & amusing write, put a smile on my face.

HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very good Dale! A shot of witticism into the heart of a very real problem. I think he has to be too old to be doing his job properly and that is why his aim is all wrong...I'll have a chat with him when I find him...probably hiding under a magic mushroom hanging out with Wendy and Peter Pan?
Cheers,
Helen :)

LOL, loved it every bit of this. Oh how true Dale, he's a pesky little so and so
sometimes! He does get a bullseye at times, but other times he is so far
off the mark its not funny! But your poem was funny and unique....thanks for the smile!

Word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)))))))))))

Hahaha this made me laugh!

Maybe Cupid should start aiming at other people, the ones that haven't been hit yet. ;)

[Brianna Brie]

Yes, cute is a word that I am seeing a lot in the reviews. What can we say when it's cute it is cute!! Fitting end for a Valentine bloke that plays a dirty joke. He must be drunk.

Oh yeah, Cupid does miss...lol. This one is sweet and light-spirited although true as your other readers have stated.

Many truths are revealed in humour, yes?

I wrote a piece a while back and used a graphic where Cupid has on dark glasses, but he is a grown man. I guess his aim will be off even when he grows up...lol.

Enjoyable read, Dale.

Blessings,
