Notes About The Poem

Legend of Zorro

leading covert double life
by day a man about town
by night masked vigilante

he fights for the righteous
brandishing his sword
protecting his people

threatened by villains
masked hero Zorro will duel
prevail and abort evil plots

again save the day
before he rides off
fast and furious on his horse

silhouette in the moonglow
leave behind his signature logo
three fine lines in the shape of a z

I used to watch Zorro on TV after school. I miss him. Thanks for bringing him back so wonderfully.
