Classic and Contemporary Poetry

STRATEGY by CHARLES KELLOGG FIELD

First Line: SOME, CUPID KILLS WITH ARROWS
Last Line: POISON-OAK.
Subject(s): POISONS & POISONING;
SOME, Cupid kills with arrows,
Some, with traps;
But this spring the little rascal
Found, perhaps,
That he needed both to slay me;
So he laid a cunning snare
On the hillside, and he hid it
In a lot of maidenhair;
And I doubt not he is laughing
At the joke,
For he made his arrows out of
Poison-oak.
