How can I get pay Dad

Super Hero Boy dressed the part every day
School? No, he argued. No how, no way!
I am saving the birds, butterflies and trees.
You can do that later, and be sure and use please.

Super Hero Boy knew school was a waste of his time.
It was boring and same-oh-same-oh and they did not pay him a dime
I am a super hero, I should get paid what I am worth he told his Dad.
Super heroes do the work for free, said his father. Zero money is had.

That cannot be right! Super Hero Boy argued in a loud way.
How can I get pay, Dad? How to others get pay?
You have to have school, learning English, math and stuff like that.
Okay, Super Hero Boy agreed, for he wanted a wallet that was fat.
