Depends on how one looks at

  it, take Cupid for instance, a

   sportsman, yes, but good?


That’s questionable, he certainly

   certainly wasn’t ecological.


Shooting arrows at the hearts

of perfectly wholesome apples.


Fortunately he missed, although

he did hit a branch and one fell


But, like alley cats, hooligans

and ne'er do wells work in pairs.


So, as the apple was falling

William Tell took aim and but

    for a slight gust of wind

  the gravity of the situation

would have been a calamity

for evolution and human kind.


Just imagine Newton might

never have caught his Granny

  Smith,  but, Neil Armstrong

could have walked on the moon

without needing lead in his boots.
