Cupid gives up!

Once came a knight, 

Just as I had dreamt. 

Held out his heart, 

And asked for my hand. 

I mocked at his valour, 

And scorned at his flattery. 

"Knights are not for real"

And blamed him of treachery.

I stared at the dark,

As he vanished in a gleam! 

No way can this happen, 

It's just another dream!

Though in a trance 

Of this I was sure, 

I deserved another chance, 

For all my wishes were pure.

Then came a fairy 

And whispered in my ear, 

"God save your generation, 

I have no work here!"
