Bionic Cupid

It's said that Cupid crashed to Earth.
His bones all left for broken.
That God himself said he'd rebuild
in parts as much as spoken.

He gave him two bionic legs
and one bionic arm.
Then added on a robot eye
to place it there for charm.

Now if this sounds familiar
and this tale less than truth.
Forget about Steve Austin
that you learned about in youth.

The truth is that for Cupid's sake
God also gave him teeth.
Big metal ones to wrap around
his mouth just like a wreath.

And now dear Cupid longs to eat
the boys and girls he meets.
For Bionic Cupid's now a monster
and lovers now his sweets.
