Cupid lacking occupation,
In AD two thousand three-oh-four,
Died in asphyxiated anguish,
Heart-broken with remorse.

Humans had reached frontiers,
Of super intelligence,
Men and women separately,
Pursued varied interests.
A tacit agreement proclaimed,
Needlessness of love,
Exchanged sentiments, a conduct,
Intolerably suspect!
Labs harvested babies,
Seeding only the best,
Programmed robots nannies,
For these ultra super-brats!

Cupid's sensational death aroused,
A universal stir,
Untraced in catalogued records,
Never seen or heard before
A monument of glass enshrined,
'Exhibit of the Alien'�,
With tattered wings, a warped bow,
And a crumpled valentine!
