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.

I think he needs to get his bow re-strung personally.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

LMAO... and I bet you are the right woman for the job.

[LA Lorena]

Bah, I'm not a fan of goody two shoed cherubs. He's take one look at me and run screaming for the hills. ;)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yeah but I bet you would beat him with his bow, and God knows I'd pay to see that.

[Emerald Seas]

Oh, I love this! How true, how true. Personally, I think the cheeky little b*****d is drunk all the time and it throws off his aim! :) Cute, funny, and spot on! Nice write, Dale :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You could be right about that, thank you.

[Marie]

Cupid is blindfolded...his arrows hit randomly and often wrongly.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

True dat.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

cupid shooting people's eyes out...love that...and it is truth...lots of errant arrows till he gets the aim right.

i have been on the misfired end several times...but now he got it right...

trigger happy god.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well even a bad shots hits on occasion, LOL
Thank you sir. Just had to take a fun poke at love.

[Samuel Dickens]

Oh, good--someone has finally said it. Cupid would never be allowed to drive a car with such pitifull vision, but here he is going around flinging those arrows all willy-nilly, causing dogs to fall for cats and nice guys to end up with b*****s. I say we break his bow.

This was a really good read and really funny though personally I like more rhyme and rythme.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much... we all like our types of poetry.., personally I don't like rhyme as much. Free verse to me is more emotionally open.

[Emily Dickinson Jr.]

I do a bit of both really I just think slang and free verse aren't idk maybe I'm just not used to it.

[DIVYA]

This is so witty and so original in thought and concept!
A lot of truth wrapped in plenty of humor.

Cupid really needs to practice his aim! Becoz sometimes we wonder why we get so crazy for some real eyesores and mind sores, out there.

Thanks for writing this Dale! Going in my favorites NOW!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much... your review was pretty funny too... but you are correct. I am honored it is going in your favs.

[DIVYA]

and my privilege..

[J. J. Nightingale]

LOL ... YOU R FUN ..... I THINK "HE" NEEDS TO LOOK FOR A NEW JOB !

JASMINE :)........

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Why thank you, you pretty funny too. Time for him to jump on that old unemployment line.

[J. J. Nightingale]

Ha ! ... :)..........

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I think you are absolutely right. Bravo!

[RainQueen]

Fantastic V-Day treat! yes, it would certainly be nice if we could trade the current Cupid for one that doesn't need a white cane...

perfect tongue-in-cheek. Thanks for the smile!
