Cupid's Diaper Rash

As Cupid came on streaming through
the sky in great repose.
The friction caught him by surprise
in every sense Helios.

To solve the problem he would think
"How can I keep my cool?"
And with a nod and with a wink
proved he was no one's fool.

He sprinkled powder on his diaper.
The kind the heroes use.
Then with a jump went head-long up
and set about to cruise.

So when you look to Cupid now,
as one who would fly by.
Remember that his frightening speed
has left him safe and dry.
