Souperman

Watched “Man Of Steel” last night Reminded me of my own Souper powers Don't want to brag or anything like that But this role is not for cowards My mission is, should I choose to accept it To rid this old world of sadness Not an easy task the way things are going But SOUPERMAN can end this madness He does it with love, lightness and laughter Acts silly, plays the part of a clown Always upbeat and ready with the funnies So people can't possibly be down He doesn't expect a reward or great fame Just to know the sadness he defeated Then zoom up high to the heavens above To return whenever he's needed © Jack Ellison 2013

Dragon loves souper Dooper man movies... He puts on a cape... But all it does is scare the birds away... He's too young to have your wisdom yet... And he occassionally hits a tree... then crashes and burns... That means when he crashes the wind gets knocked out of him and it burns a few things... But for a 2 year old Grandpa Troll says he's doing well... A Dragon has smaller wings and takes a little practice... But never fear... Dragon's here... You give him hope he'll make it. Up! Up! and away!

I love that, Souperman, yes that is what you are my friend! I really loved the way you present yourself, as it is all very true Jack! You do cheer us all up, and bring love into the world by your tenderness and humor! You gave me an idea, I think I'll write a poem, by instead of me being Souperman, as that title is purely yours, but I should be called Hallowman, doesn't that seem fitting? I'll work on that this morning! What a fantastic piece here Jack, Great Work!!
