Superman

Thank the Lord for sending Superman to stand guard over us, I know that destroying Krypton must have caused a lot of fuss. But how else would we have gotten him to join us here on Earth? His parents would just have kept him for themselves after giving birth. Now he’s here to keep us safe from the villains in the street, With his array of super powers that he keeps tastefully discrete. He uses x-ray vision to see right through solid walls, And he uses his super hearing to listen for our desperate calls. He has super strength and can fly through the sky, Now you can start to understand why he’s such a super guy. It’s great to know that it’s for our American way of life he fights, What difference should it make to us if he wears a cape and tights? His outfit makes a statement about who he is deep inside, And it’s good to know he’s confident and so filled with pride. Now I’m not one to dictate how his free time should be spent, But he’s been seen at all hours leaving the apartment of Clark Kent. At least he’s stopped changing his clothes inside a telephone booth, He has to be extra careful now that he’s a role model to our youth. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate that he puts evildoers behind bars, But couldn’t he be more like Batman and develop an interest in cars?

Is Superman still around? Haven't heard of him for years but you bring him back with style. As usual, the story is "super"!
