Millicent Pieters Poet Rhyme

A Modern Day Superman

If we had a modern day Superman, he would not survive
He wouldn't be able to keep all of us alive

His identity would not be a secret, it’ll be all over Facebook
And our Lois Lanes won’t give him a second look

Changing in a phone booth won’t be possible
Ours are way too small, he might end up in hospital

He won’t be able to fly, he’d walk to crime scenes
Cause his cape got stolen, and he’d be wearing a pair of jeans

Lex Luthor would be too busy playing X-Box
While Superman’s career is on the rocks

He would've lost all his strength in street fights
And developed a drug habit by now, the poor Kryptonite
