The Day I Saw Batman
The Day I Saw Batman
By Elton Camp
When I was walking along in Gotham City
The sight I saw seemed to be such a pity
There stood Batman checking his cell phone
With no Robin about, he was quite alone
Batman’s appearance I certainly did hate
For he had gained a whole lot of weight
The Joker and the Penguin had little to fear
Even if Batman should manage to come near
The arch criminals could simply run away
Lagging far behind poor Batman would stay
The cowl, his millionaire identity concealed
To Bruce Wayne, too much food had appealed
The sight made me doubt that the police chief
Would ask his help in catching a villain or thief
I watched as Batman climbed into his car
Prius, not the Batmobile, would go slow but far
Somehow, it seemed to me to be such a shame
Batman had lost almost everything but his name
