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

    You know, his chances would be lot better if he didn’t always bring his kid along to the first date.

    “Dear Milly, I’m so glad you’re back home. Richard tells me you were held captive by a Saracen.”

    “Yes, Connie, it was two whole weeks of being raped and ravaged every day.”

    “My god, I can’t imagine how you must feel.”

    “Oh, Connie, it’s terrible. He doesn’t write, he doesn’t call…”

    Tom Cruise’s first movie role was a forgettable scene as Cupid…

    Paris came upon Helen (ere Troy), / guided by a well-armed winged boy. / Venus birthed his pursuit, / setting up their “meet cute,” / which would bring Helen’s husband no joy.

    “Come on, man, ask her to dance!”

    “I don’t know. I’m not fully vaccinated against covid and she looks pale and sickly."

    “Oh, that? That’s just from the syphilis.”

    “Well, okay.”

    Paris learned as a Prince back in Troy, / for two women, a wingman employ. / If you’d conquer, divide. / She’ll soon be by your side. / Would it work with a naked wing-boy?

    Here he comes now – true he’s a zero, but it’s the little kid you have to watch out for!

    Cupid egging on Paris, “Yes, I know you’re a nerd. It’s ok – ask her if she’s read any good books. Smile a lot and and look clueless. Women love that. Just whatever you do, don’t start talking about Dungeons & Dragons.”

    He’s making a dreadful mistake/ but it’s one that he’s certain to make../ he’s a sucker for looks/ (he’s no fan of books)/ He’ll succumb to her “booty shake”../// 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../// We’re reduced to a simple concern/ whose source we’re unlikely to learn:/ when some loins burn with lust/ why ( it’s absurdly unjust!)/ must uncountable innocents burn ?

    And Venus was at it again/ when that most vulnerable of men/ to Lewinski succumbed/ and a nation, “down-dumbed”/..chose “W”. It’s been downhill since then…

    After he returned home from the boat ride, he noticed he was still the tallest person.

    His wife wasn’t too happy; as he didn’t bring back any riches that had been promised for posing naked in that far-away land.

    Paris and Cupid, Venus and Helen; / these are the figures on whom we’ve been dwellin.’ / 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.
