Rubberband Man

There he is...
        On his biz
Unbothered and untethered 

After many pernicious pulls and tainty tugs
And so many ghastly grabs and sheisty shrugs 
After huge stretches with hopes of breaking 
And so much tension, pressure and shaking 

Every time!

He snaps back like the seats in that 'ole' Cadillac 

Pulled in so many directions with the aim of popping 
But it's in his nature to keep bouncing, 'cause ain't nothing stopping 
Vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, he's pulled 
But he never breaks; instead, he bounces back like a basketball off the old hardwood 

Yet so many continue to grab and pull to see if he'll break
But little do they know this will only cause their world to shake

There he is just stretching and bouncing...
All knaves and NPCs he's renouncing 

So, who exactly is this man that stoically bounces throughout the land? 
"Hear ye, hear ye, bounce back he can, 'cause he's none other than 
the Rubberband Man!"

"I repeat. Bounce back he can, 'cause he's none other than the Rubberband Man!"
