It's Cupid's day off,

And in his place,

Is a Cupid with the same face

But a different mission, a different cause

To save humanity and all its flaws,

He'll stop the war, he'll give the world peace

He'll end world hunger, so everyone has a piece

He's another Gandhi with a bigger cause

His mission to save the hands and paws

Of everyone who loves this earth

And wants its beauty preserved

So on Valentine's Day

He'll be there

Giving money to the poor

Helping heal the sores

That all of us humans bring

The sub for cupid will be waiting

To help everyone, big and small

On a real Valentine- Cupid's day off
