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 (To see a photograph of Batman standing on the sidewalk, go to http://www.scribd.com/doc/79248325/The-Day-I-Saw-Batman )
