L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Captain America

Brave and bold Captain America was always there
Standing up for truth and the American way
Captain America flew through the air,
So justice would prevail and save the day.
His distinctive star and billowing cape
Signs of the legend from Marvel’s comic books
He was always able to get out of any scrape
To the disappointing dismay of professional crooks.

Bill Baker May 11, 2022 at 4:46 PM Nice entry for the contest, Milt. Brings back some memories for me. Bill L Milton Hankins May 12, 2022 at 3:08 PM Yes, indeed. Me, too. I remember when I was little I would wear a cape...actually it was a bathroom towel. I could really fly...or at least I thought I could. Such fantasizing we boys did.
