Kryptonite

Sometimes I feel like Superman
After bathing in Kryptonite;
I know that I have super powers
But nothing turns out for me just right.

I should be faster than a bullet
And see through walls with my sight;
But my vision is all blurry
And I’m slowed by Kryptonite.

I would like you to be my Lois Lane
And stare at my “S” in shapely tights;
But I feel more like a weak Clark Kent
Overdosed on Kryptonite.

Maybe Kryptonite isn't all it is cracked up to be and Clark Kent has some other super power he is hiding. Anyway bet he can't write as super a poem as you do. Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce

I would happily assume the role of Lois. Was a Superman comic book fan as a child and, obviously, you enjoyed the man of steel as well. Congrats on your win, Joe! Love, Carolyn
