Swimsuit Issue Valentine

cupid got drunk and overslept
missed his alarm and never drew a bead
unloved lovers wept, male chauvinists never planted their seeds
but just in time the swimsuit issue hit the stands
with enough T & A to chafe even the most lubed of hands
and so the mating calls went unheard, drowned in darkened basements, the sticky pages more assured
instead of raising the species the sweat socks are stained, tis a horrifying refrain
the fires of love won’t be lit but the laptops warmly glow
but Cupid’s drunk again, he’ll never know
