Catwoman

Selina was orphaned at a young age.  
She experienced the bitter taste of life,
growing up the hard way. She thrives on crime,
relying on agility and stealth.  

Disguised in a creative feline suit,
like Sherwood’s famous hero Robin Hood
she robs from the wealthy and those corrupt,
sharing her high-stake booty with the poor.

She is a mix of daring, good and bad
earning the approval of the Dark Knight.
But, love-struck Batman hovers not far off
keeping a watchful eye on all she does. 

A femme fatale with striking sex appeal;
charismatic kitty purloins our heart.
