My Super Power

Unlike many super heros
I use a jet to fly
No flashy fancy costume
To streak across the sky

I really need these glasses
I don't, use them for disquise
No high-tech crazy gadgets 
Or lasers from my eyes

I don't leap over buildings
and I can't climb like a cat
But I'm sure, I'd look the part
If I'd lose this belly fat

So, what's my secret power
I have used it all this while
It's one you can't resist
I've just made you stop and Smile

I just read this to my wife
No effect----did I mention my super weakness

I lied, she smiled---its just I write this stuff early in the morning---and I serve it to her with her first cup coffee., rather than waiting for her to fully wake up. Thank you Eve
