Cupid's Lucky Shot

Looking to find a four leaf clover
Or a lucky star for a wish
Cupid's arrow flew right over
I was told he never missed

A rabbit's foot might do the trick
Or perhaps a lucky penny
Love potions leave me feeling sick
I know cause I've taken many

Love's never been a friend of mine
Though we have spent time together
Not the sort of friend to find
Only sticking around in fair weather

On second thought I'll take a pass
I'm glad it flew right by
Cause if he'd shot me in my ass
Then I'd have blacked his eye

Very good Daniel; if he shot you in the bum he was way off target - Lindsay

Lol, clever and fun poem. I'm such a superstitious I might have all of the above in my pocket. Lol, Cupid isn't a friend so, I know this arrow went right over my kukoo nest.... Awesome poem. Linda
