Our Heroes ©

by Harry C. Craft III

I sat on the couch with a fat man
who just happened to be my dad
the show had just started, it was Batman
and boy, were we glad!

We watched as the caped crusader
rushed down the street
and all of his arch-villains
he was sure to defeat
“Holy cow,” cried out the boy wonder,
as he spied the Penguin trying to plunder

while Batman raced into action,
his adversary taking his licks
they spotted the Joker
using some of his new tricks

Boom, bam, pow
we’re really seeing some action now
boom, bam, pow
our heroes, we did wow

So off to jail go our partners in crime,
which usually means that we are out of time
I spring from my seat and turn to channel four
just so we can see our heroes once more.
