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. FOURTH PLACE WINNER Written May 8, 2022 for "Captain America" Poetry Contest sponsored by Robert James Liguori

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.
