One That Cupid Forgot

She was pretty, vivacious, and full of life And dreamed of becoming someone's wife How is it that life did pass her by And bring disappointment which made her cry? Was it that she didn't flirt enough? Or guys of today want strong women, not fluff? Perhaps she'd fare better by playing the field Than, time and again, to one man only yield. Should she have held back more, played hard-to-get Not worn heart on her sleeve with the men she met? And, is it that men prefer fantasy And mystery, to bare honesty? How is it an ugly girl becomes a wife, Then spends all his money, and cheats all her life? While our pretty miss wanted nothing more Than a husband that she could love and adore. They say that there's someone for everyone- -True? I'll wager that may be the case for a few But, when it comes to love, Cupid's law Appears to be the luck of the draw.
