Shot by Cupid
If you still want to be shot by Cupid
Then go ahead but I think it's stupid
I never take his arrows anymore
Since having been shot by Cupid before
Turned out to be such painful injury
My heart like Humpty Dumpty in free fall
And having avoided cupidity
I would prefer not to be shot at all
I've lived too close to couples who tussle
Claw like cats in the hustle and bustle
Of gross dysfunction and indignity
If that's what coupling is it's not for me
And what of those couples with peaceful ways?
One of them does what the other one says
While others shout what they say together
Loudly in stridently stormy weather
If you still want to be shot by Cupid
Nothing I say will stop you anyway
Until you too end up feeling stupid
And duped like me at the end of the day
My good old cat and I will be just fine
The next heart shot by Cupid won't be mine
