Me and Cupid

Feb. 14, I felt a profound longing for love in my soul./ So I got out of the house for a 
afternoon stroll./ A beautiful day to be in the park, one would think it was spring./ Valentines 
day was in full swing!/ So many couples out enjoying this gorgeous day./ I felt I was 
somehow in the way./ I thought to myself, "Man this ain't fair, all this love in the air."/  I just 
felt out of place./ But something happened and you may call me a nut case!/
       In the sky/ somthing caught my eye./ I nearly wet my pants,/ but at first glance/ I 
thought it was a plane./ You may say I'm insane,/ or say "that's absurd,"/ but it wasn't a 
bird!/ What I saw, I saw clearly./ "Cupid" flew down and hovered 10 feet from me!/ I heard 
him sing,/ then he pulled back on his bowstring,/ and a arrow shot towards me!/
       A couple nearby probably figured me a man on the verge of insanity,/ because they saw 
me dive into a roll!/ I ignored the couple, turned to cupid and screemed "You asshole!" The 
couple begin laughing, but I ignored them./ Cupid came closer, I picked up a rock and threw 
it at him!/
       This was turning into a bad day./ I turned and attempted to run away./ All of a sudden a 
woman popped into my mind/ the instant I felt a "sting" in my behind!/ I could have swore I 
saw Cupid zip past me and yell "Farewell!"/ And then to the ground I fell!/
       That arrow would surely change my view of love in the world;/ For when I came too, I 
was face to face with this strange girl./ She was gorgeous and I knew this was the one I had 
to marry!/ I asked her name and she said, "Audrey Carey!"
