Cupid's Curse

I saw a woman walking by.
She wasn't all that fetching.
When just above her in the air
came Cupid like a fletching.

In taking aim he shot me twice.
Once in each balled eye.
And then he said in deepened voice;
"Now can't you see she's fly".

I notice then she came in close
and stunk of ransid hide.
Then Cupid grabbed his bow again,
My nose his taget pride.

The woman asked me how I was
with such a crackling voice.
I knew at once My ears were next
and Cupid had no choice.

Now I was blind and deaf and bloody
My nostrils without smell.
and now I could not hear his wings
that creature come from Hell.

At once the woman reached for me.
I falling cold in shock.
And if she didn't comfort me
and love began to knock.

Now I knew Cupid had a plan.
that left me all for dead.
but feeling all her comfort now
was coming while I bled.

Then Cupid asked, "You love her now"?
And I began to heal.
I looked at him and then at her
and realized I could feel.
