Cupid Knows Not Compatibility

They call me a pedophile They accuse me of witchcraft Allegedly I'm a wizard,I lie with tokoloshes. My feats they refuse to acknowledge For they are works of "luck" not my might. Apparently I know where leprechauns are found The prognosis for such Is simply that I tower six feet Whilst my girl is only a few inches off of three .........mmm perhaps they speak the truth Numbers don't lie ,do they?. In Zulu mythology, Tokoloshe is a dwarf-like water sprite. It is considered a mischievous and evil spirit that can become invisible by drinking water. Tokoloshes are called upon by malevolent people to cause trouble for others.

I have never actually seen one myself but I know a lot of people(one of them my mom) swear they have.They are my motivation to pray every time before I go to sleep.

Dude, if you're a pedophile I hope you get hit by a train, walking, and dragged for miles. POS.

This is a very ironical poem. Intriguing too, and well written. I like it a lot. Welcome to PoetrySoup :) PS, I like the explanation about Tokoloshe.
