Paris came upon Helen (ere Troy), / guided by a well-armed winged boy. / Venus birthed his pursuit, / setting up their âmeet cute,â / which would bring Helenâs husband no joy.
Paris learned as a Prince back in Troy, / for two women, a wingman employ. / If youâd conquer, divide. / Sheâll soon be by your side. / Would it work with a naked wing-boy?
Cupid egging on Paris, âYes, I know youâre a nerd. Itâs ok â ask her if sheâs read any good books. Smile a lot and and look clueless. Women love that. Just whatever you do, donât start talking about Dungeons & Dragons.â
Heâs making a dreadful mistake/ but itâs one that heâs certain to make../ heâs a sucker for looks/ (heâs no fan of books)/ Heâll succumb to her âbooty shakeâ../// A rational move? Send her back !/ She never had such a great rack../ and this painting suggests/ that the state of her breasts/ is already running to slack../// Weâre reduced to a simple concern/ whose source weâre unlikely to learn:/ when some loins burn with lust/ why ( itâs absurdly unjust!)/ must uncountable innocents burn ?
Never mind the Battle of Troy. / Tis the poetry that brings me joy. / The limerick rhymes / are the sign of the times. / Ismael, Solstice, Bookworm⌠My boys!
I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcherâs approval) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. So far, 4 works by this artist have been used here.Â
And Venus was at it again/ when that most vulnerable of men/ to Lewinski succumbed/ and a nation, âdown-dumbedâ/..chose âWâ. Itâs been downhill since thenâŚ
Paris and Cupid, Venus and Helen; / these are the figures on whom weâve been dwellin.â / But others, (more central), / are not incidental / to the passion the humans both fell in. /// Next to Venus are two feathered coo-ers. / (These white doves might be missed by most viewers.) / They symbolize things / like pure love borne on wings, / and they taste great when roasted on skewers.

I love Paris. / Why, oh why do I love Paris? / Because Venus induced me to.

After he returned home from the boat ride, he noticed he was still the tallest person.
His wife wasnât too happy; as he didnât bring back any riches that had been promised for posing naked in that far-away land.
