Analysis of Cupid Is Stupid As A Marriage Broker
Cupid is so shallow
his depth is mere veneer
Cupid is so stupid he bungles his career
Cupid is so callow
his choice is immature
Cupid is so stupid his arrows just injure
Cupid is so fallow
his field is plain sterile
Cupid is so stupid he creates great peril
Cupid is so tallow
his flesh is flabby fat
Cupid is so stupid his assumption is scat
Cupid is so sallow
his cast is pale ashen
Cupid is so stupid he fails in his passion
Cupid is so mallow
his angle is prostrate
Cupid is so stupid his tenets never rate
