Cupid's Curse

I saw a woman walking by. She wasn't all that fetching. When just above her in the air came Cupid like a fletching. In taking aim he shot me twice. Once in each balled eye. And then he said in deepened voice; "Now can't you see she's fly". I notice then she came in close and stunk of ransid hide. Then Cupid grabbed his bow again, My nose his taget pride. The woman asked me how I was with such a crackling voice. I knew at once My ears were next and Cupid had no choice. Now I was blind and deaf and bloody My nostrils without smell. and now I could not hear his wings that creature come from Hell. At once the woman reached for me. I falling cold in shock. And if she didn't comfort me and love began to knock. Now I knew Cupid had a plan. that left me all for dead. but feeling all her comfort now was coming while I bled. Then Cupid asked, "You love her now"? And I began to heal. I looked at him and then at her and realized I could feel.
