Green Batman Clock Man

I saw him standing on the limb and I wondered about his sanity. The last time I had seen Green Bat Clock Man was on my vanity. I’ll jump! He yelled to the crowd of robins gathered around to stare. I watched him do an entirely crazy summersault high jump in the air. He’s chained! Ted yelled; He’ll break his neck; fall in the inner cove! The chain unraveled as if by magic as the Green Bat Clock man dove. He’s a wizard one screamed as he landed on his well-endowed feet. He’s a mystical clock, yelled my cousin Jeb, love child of Uncle Pete. Green Bat Clock Man flew up to the limb and did it again and again. What do you think of him? I asked my not-easy-to-please identical twin. She sniffed. I think he’s still a show off, and not to my taste at all. She was still angry that he had left her broken hearted in the fall.

Now, here is a man I think I'd like to meet. Or, maybe I'd much rather just see him perform a high dive and land on his feet. Fun!
