Cupid Shot My Wife

Cupid shot my wife when she was just a maiden. And now we're both as married with children she has laden. I'd offer up my thanks to Cupid and his bow. But rather I was single than have a wife in tow. I must regret my children. My only passions burned. I taught them what I know becoming only spurned. I missed the many years I spent in serving others. with all my freedom lost A life that only smothers. I've wondered how a baby that only wears a diaper could always break my will and leave me rank and hyper. If he were more reserved I'd surely play around. While likely loving many than one that Cupid's found. I wish him only peace Just what I'd want myself. but if he'd turn back time we both be more ourself.
