Improve Your Aim

I think Cupid must be missing his target.
Desirable women appear to be harder to get.
Little guy, after you draw back your bow,
the arrow must travel straight when you let it go.
There, you have missed another one for me.
Why has this been posing you some difficulty?
Do you require additional lessons in archery?
Take all of your arrows and shoot them through the air.
Let that cute one over there know that I care.
Hit a bull’s eye over there for me.
If not, I will have to go to E-Harmony.

A very interesting poem here. Perhaps E-Harmony may be a solution. Or maybe a divine providence may step in. Hope a sweet gal comes your way before 2/14. Take care and keep you rmuse happy, Jancarl
