Superman

Today’s the day that Superman
Fell to earth and couldn’t stand
He lit upon his neck all wrong
And found he was no longer strong
His super powers gone all right
His horse’s name – old Kryptonite

Mdailey	5/27/11

Actor Christopher Reeve (Superman) was paralyzed when thrown from his horse 
during a jumping event in Charlottesville, Virginia on May 27, 1995

Superman by name, Superman by action. I have to admit, as a person I really liked Christopher Reeve. I also have to admit strongly that I so loved Patrick Dalzel Job. I am, I'm me, down to him. I shrine no one, but in me he shines. It would be cherlish of me not to add this to my favs, it's undoubtly so apt. Have a wonderful Sunday Mike....:)
