He stepped inside his rocket ship
then blasted off to space.
He overtook his nemesis
to clinch the Grand Prix race.
He dived beneath the deep blue seas
when his submarine submerged.
He stopped the speeding train before
the railway lines converged.
He flew the plane near to the ground
then looped it in the sky.
He stood on top of Everest
and jumped and didn't die.
He fought off several hungry sharks
then rowed towards the shore.
He bravely drove his Sherman tank
to help us win the war.
He stepped inside the Fort Knox safe
having mastered all its locks.
Yes, ‘He’ was me when I was small
- and I loved that cardboard box.
