You'Re a Super Hero - Poetry Contest

It was time to sit little Timmy down It was time to have "The Talk" "Timmy" I said "Timmy your daddy is the super hero known as" it is here I took a dramatic pause and finally said "Cabbage Head" At this point i waited patiently, patiently for Timmy to stop laughing. I tried to continue but Tim wouldn't have it "no dad please, please don't speak I'm trying to catch my breath" I remained silent. Just then Timmy said "so whose your sidekick cauliflower ears" he was now gasping for air through his hysterical laughter Timmy I said "calm down we have to talk" Timmy stopped laughing but then he added "so where do you keep your Super Hero costume? In the vegetable crisper" back to Tim laughing which led me to believe Tim was being sarcastic " What's your superpower? The ability to control itty biddy Bunnies to do your bidding, (again with the sarcasm) turning meat eaters into Vegetarians. (my child hits the nail on the head) So who is your arch nemesis Vegetable Chopper, he slices he dices." (this kid knows a lot about me) "No no I know Salad Dressing he drenches you in his juices until you wilt." That's ridiculous I think I would never fight a bad guy named Salad dressing ...again. I decided I would give Timmy some time to absorb our serious talk while I made a call. In fact I decided to wait until the next day I had to call my sidekick. The phone rang. He answered I said "Cauliflower Ear is that you" Maurice Yvonne August 30 2014 You're a Super Hero Poetry Contest-Carol Eastman
