Who had to steal the kiss he was such a dork.

But then Albany heard a renaissance blues,
Played by a minstrel named Billy Twa Shoes.
Its sound pierced his heart from heaven above,
Twa Shoes and and the Duke had instalove.
Anteros smiled at his success,
kissed his two shoes and went to play chess.
He heard "One Night in Bangkok" with Murray Head
Swapped a bishop for a rook, more alive than dead,
They're all we've got so they'll have to do.
[Sorry the sound on that clip was so poor]They did their best, and bent over backward too.
But since they were but carved of wood, that was hard to do.
No more games declared the Grecian god with the gun,
You need to meet my brother Deimos for he's the hunky one.
We interrupt this poem for a message from the London Tourist Bureau.Anteros is the subject of the Shaftesbury Memorial in Piccadilly Circus, London, where he symbolises the selfless philanthropic love of the Earl of Shaftesbury for the poor. The memorial is sometimes given the name The Angel of Christian Charity and is popularly mistaken for Eros.
We are both strong and mighty,
for we are sons of Aphrodite.
In love and awe stood Billy Two Shoes,
Who thought to himself, "What's to lose?
But to point out to all and sundry
No matter the weather and how thundery
And Londoners love their Eros."[They never heard of this Shaftesbury guy, even though he has an Avenue named after him too, and Eros sums up the principle business of Piccadilly Circus in which he stands: message to the London Tourist Board, and, as Eric Alan would say >snicker<]
That may cause you great dismay.
If you want a love that's true,
Requited love is meant for you.
Though Deimos had a scary reputation.,
Billy Two Shoes had an infatuation.
They say all's fair in love and war,
But, claims Zeus, God of all, actually you can.
You whisper it in the ear of your man.
Others looked into Deimos eyes and saw the fear of war,
Billy Two Shoes looked in his eyes and saw a beauteous azure.
Deimos gazed at Billy and saw sweet love in his eyes,
"Make Love not War," cooed Billy Twa Shoes the Wise.
And so they did. And so they did.
both like a mega-hormonal kid.
What a pair that shoeman and Greek god,
you must admit the match is odd.
The god of wartime shocking fear
and the one who holds two shoes so dear,
What will Ares say of this?
His fearsome son and a mortal kiss.
How can it be an immortal god,
Would partner with a man twice shod?
And what when mother Aphrodite,
Walks in wearing just her nightie,
