(Elir (0ursttmt Dan C ipi l is n god, they say, As blind as lie can be. But, nothwitlistanding what they say, It seemed most strange to me That one like Dan could do his work. Without the aid of eyes, And this 1 could not understand, To me Iwas a suri)rise. But now since I ' ve grown older. 1 am coming, day by day. To be convinced that there is truth In what the people say About this little rascal. lioiii we all know as Dan C upi l. He s either a mischievous wretch. Or else he ' s mighty stupid. Now why 1 speak of Cupid thus, My friends, I ' m now confessing, 111 tell you all about the muss Without any more digressing. To one and all 1 now shall tell The story of my strife. In which 1 lost the village belle, Tlie ilarliii:. ' of iiiv life. When I met this little maiden With eyes of deepest brown. Who all confessed was far ahead Of anything in town. 1 fell in love at first sight, . nd vowed that her I ' d win. But. when 1 thought I had her, Dan Cupid butted in. He shot, the arrow took eti ' ect. The wimnded was another. The village belle is married now, Hut she ' s the wife of brother. And 1 am left alone to think Of things that might have been. For 1 was on the very brink. When Cupid butted in. So. after grave reHection. I ' pon what the people say. - dde(l to my dejection. Which I ' m feeling, day by day: . nd now since brother got the girl. And all my hopes are blighted. I must confess if Dan ' s not blind. He ' s devilishly bad near-sighted. W. L. D.wiDSOX, ' 04. 18
