I Want To Be a Superhero

I long for that day When I'll keep the goons at bay Big muscles, six feet tall and a deep voice I got all my choice People would say" Here he comes To save us from the scums". Bang!Bang!Bang! I do my show Damn!Damn!Damn! and people all glow Samaritans I help And satans they yelp My name is Ferrero And I am the hero At last I have my say To keep the goons at bay Tight fitting clothes and a mask I wear Never in my life I have had those apparels I swear Punch, kick, somersault And they all halt I rescue the dame And ask her her name? But she's so cold She says "Ferrero don't be so bold" For the deed I did Not even a kiss Oh that I miss Then suddenly from the vicinity A thunderous roar in all of profanity I wake up and look at the mirror And I am stunned by the horror I am no superhero All but I am a zero

What a fun write. It reminds me of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." Who of us hasn't dreamed of being somebody special, only to have reality intrude. Elton

What a fanciful flight of imagination! Maybe there are some super hero qualities lurking in you. Surely, you are not "a zero." That gal should have given you a kiss for rescuing her. Maybe your real name is "Clark Kent"? Very entertaining poem! Best wishes, Carolyn
