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

TITLE GRABBED ME AND TE POEM DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I'd say there is a lot more truth in that poem than maybe even you realize my friend! Raising spirits, bringing smiles and easing tension are not minor deeds! Bravo and a solid 7 from me! A7

Now you've done it! Dragon jumped up to grab his Super Dragon Cape! With a Capital D! Whoa is us... or the town... Depending on Which ever way, he chooses to go! But don't worry. We just told him that a comet is about to hit his beloved mars... He'll be busy looking for it... At least, until after my 2nd cupa java. Thank goodness! Now THAT was a close one! It's still to early to be on Dragon clean up patrol... LOL

Unfortunately No money to do it. Last year of Nursing College for Joey is still draining us... And ObamaCare actually cost double our old insurance plus $2000 a year for us to pay... We actually have no insurance. I still owe one Dr. 100 bucks. That used to be 100% paid for. Another 281 bucks goes to Heart Dr. Next month. And I'm on Disability. Hubby is a little above minimum wage.

Never mind! Grandpa Troll got up, grabbed HIS Super T Cape, and ran off to follow Dragon. His job is to make sure, nobody is hurt, or left in a lurch. He has a Walkie Talkie to contact the Super Carpenter Troll Patrol. Don't tell Dragon! They're the true heroes, and Know it. Their Tee shirts have a capital CT on them. Dragon thinks all are applauding him... It's really the Super CT troop they're happy to see!
