'She Called Me Stupid' by Jerry Joel

She smiled and called me “stupid”

But in the language of cupid,

I knew it meant “i love you”.

I knew, she knew

She was my sinew

Keeping me together like glue.

But stupid was a cue,

That she longed for a long kiss.

Stupid meant she was stupefied,

By a love that defied

Any known human logic

In the way science was defied by magic.

She called me “stupid” ,

my id stooped,

And there i stood

Admiring the quintessence of perfection,

Unable to move,

Like i just saw Medusa,

But what i saw,

Flawed the goddess Aphrodite.

She was indeed the deity of beauty.

She called me “stupid”

In a voice that irked Lucifer from envy,

So luciferous it was,

It stole the darkness from hell.

She called me “stupid”

And i knew i was going to be

Her only “stupid” forever.
