I Love You to Pieces
Cupid’s darts draw real blood--
a less welcome part of his fame:
recall Bobbit's wife, with a cut of the knife,
made an unhappy play on his name;
Cleo put her asp on the line
when Tony, her man, spilled his guts;
Donner's girl grew thinner when he had her for dinner;
and whose heart was more jarred than King Tut's?
Van Gogh's love letters showed he'd a kind ear,
even Salomé's got her ahead...
So when, with this band, I ask for your hand,
please don't give me the finger instead.
