Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Comic Book Advocate

Used to thrill 
     to the Fantastic Four, X - Men 
    Sometimes ever Charlton or Classics illustrated
   Dare I mention to my educated friends  
       that I still read comic books?
or even to anyone 
    that I enjoy 
   Archie - with hamburger eating Jughead
 the poor and rich girls 
      Betty and Veronica ?
I advise you to take a 
    comic book trip 
They are not just for children
