Superman.
All I really wanted ever,
Was to do my bit,
To save the world and show how clever
-ly I had done it!
Watch this space, I think I can
Claim to have a scheme;
I think I have a simple plan,
Along this kind of theme...
The world is struggling in debt,
A tale of boom and bust;
Without me things are going to get,
Much worse; so I must
Pull my cape and black mask on,
Fly to the planet’s aid;
Bring something I’ve been and gone
And brilliantly made!
Don’t ask yet, I’ve just invented,
Something that will do
More or less the way I meant it,
To save the world for you!
It is a secret just for now,
But just you wait and see;
Within a while you’ll all know how,
The world was saved by me!

Good to see a couple more poems Stephen, I thought you may have quit, which would have been sad to see.
ReplyDeleteHi, Peter,
ReplyDeleteNever quit, just poorly! The energy I need for my brain got diverted!
