Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman, a beauty to behold Her adventures something to be extolled In a world where mostly men are superheroes Like Jack Reacher and the Robert De Niros Comes a woman who stands straight and tall For right and justice and never takes a fall So, I want to give her a place among the best Since she’s head and shoulders above the rest.

Doesn’t hurt that she’s easy on the eye either, Milt. Congrats on your wondrous win. Terry

True, Terry. When Amazon had a dress-up day, my wife always went as Wonder Woman.

What should be the purpose of being a super man or woman is subtly, yet, clearly expressed. "right and justice"... Congratulations!

Between Wonder Woman, Daisy Mae, and Blondie, finding a wasp waist with bountiful bust became a lifelong pursuit, but watching Linda Carter bounce in her cups was certainly entertaining . . Aloha!

They're just mammary glands, Rico. Give me a nice pair of legs any day!

Wonder woman was such a lovely superhero. A pioneer in her field being a woman and being recognized among men she was her own person. Very few women had that role as a superhero. Cat women I believe was a villain. Then there were Charlies Angels but I don't think they were super heroes. Great selection Milton and Best wishes for the contest...

Linda Carter is beaming about this one!... Next contest, extolling the virtues of 'Wonder Bread:' 27 different kinds of chemicals.' 'No nutritional value whatsoever...' Etc. ~ gw

Probably. I wouldn't be at all surprised. I don't eat Wonder Bread, so I wouldn't know about that, gw.

Haha, stands straight and tall, Linda Carter comes to mind. My favorite Chumash casino slot is Wonder Woman! GL in the contest!
