Super Hero Thing

While watching my parents being mugged and killed At age thirty-one my calling was revealed Got bitten by a rare deadly bug While surviving a nuclear blast so snug In a exploding toxic waste dump As a comic meteor from outer space bumps Than slams down to earth in front of my face As the Sun's solar flare burns me in place While I constantly am being zapped gory By strange energy from a mad scientist laboratory Of an intention gone bad but meant to be good This stuff can't even happen in Hollywood Of course this little mishap is for the best Because you now know the rest Just give me the mask, cape, tights and ring Now I'm doing the Super Hero Thing Vision of a thousand eagles Able to smell with the might of a hungry beagle Hearing keen, good looks and clean I can do this Super Hero Thing Strenght, as strong as a mighty hurricane Both weak and strong know my Super Name Invisable if the need and super fast with super speed Fighting crime, the evil and those with greedy greed Save the world by saving the sexy pretty girls There are fringe benefits saving the world Than loving them in my known name Super Heros know no shame Can transform and can fly being good is my high Using super gadgets and with super powers I thrive Save the world daily and through the night While keeping a secret identity is my biggest plight As a playboy billionaire paperboy photographer While moonlighting as a mild manner court stenographer Sidekicks, Villans and the public at large There need for my fame gives me a super charge Be it Truth Justice and the American Way Or just mindless vengeance in play With Great Power comes Great Responsibilty And a winning smile and dynamic personality Still one day it must all come to an end I must pass the cape to a younger super friend In the comic world I will be glorified With a TV series and Movies deal magnified People will always remember my Super Name I will always live through my Super Fame But when I go I'll be just an average Joe The world will never really know The guy with the mask, cape, tights and ring Who saved the world by saving the girl doing the Super Hero Thing

Thanks for sharing this... I greet you with the love of God expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” God bless you.
