February's Funny Bone

There once was a joker called Cupid; 
The matches he made often stupid,
But he fired from his bow
At the folks down below -
His tricks got him oft prosecuted.

Jack Horne for Linda-Marie’s February Funny Bone contest

I see in my first comment, I have a typo. I meant to say in that fifth line: "You are IN fifth gear as you shift the stick." As Maxwell Smart used to say "Sorry about that".

Connie Francis sang about Stupid Cupid. Your limerick is a good one, and I can see why it won in the contest. Congratulations.

Well you sure tickled my funny bone, Jack. I'd like to see Cupid locked away to avoid any further mismatches. LOL Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn

Modern times I guess; They don't appreciate being love struck if he was prosecuted. All the best for the contest; I think it's great!

This looks like a wonderful limerick. I like the way you pulled off the trick. I think it is good. Everybody else should. You are if fifth gear as you shift the stick.
