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
