Call Me a Super Hero
Terry said I was a real “sketch”
I'm taking that as a compliment
Not some colourful cartoon character
Wonder what it represents
Hope I'm more like Superman
Than that scatter brain Daffy Duck
Old Dick Tracy kinda makes sense
Or Sylvester running amok
Can't be Blondie but maybe Dagwood
Maybe Terry of Pirates fame
Perhaps one of the Katzenjammer Kids
Or The Torch to set hearts aflame
Always thought I was more like Batman
With that fairy like Robin by his side
Wasn't cut out for super hero-ness
Seeing trouble I run away and hide
I'm being silly really sorry about that
I'm unique and a one of a kind
If you still want to call me a Super Hero
Just call me the Hulk, that's fine!
