ZAP: I declare that he was the best
ZONK: For no-one could beat Adam West
On TV most nights
Blue-grey vest and tights
THUNK: And a bat right there on his chest
KLUNK: Perhaps I was easily led
THUD: Accepting whatever was said
For then unlike now
His fists went KAPOW
SPLAAT: He wore two bat ears on his head
CRASH: Adam West impresses my gran
BANG: He’s much more than merely ‘Batman’
WALLOP: Kicks go BAM
THWACK: As fists go WHAM
CLANG: He’s Onomatopoeia Man

Like a nuclear bomb
It is dropped on us with a bam!
Kapow! Kapow!
Everyone I know has it.
It’s a pandemic like no other.
Even the Spanish Flu was not this bad.
Kapow! Kapow!
I am wearing two masks now.
Will they be enough?
I seriously doubt it.
I live in Kansas City.
Right now, the nearest hospital bed is eight hours away.
Kapow! Kapow!

By ourselves..........????
Born that way and die that way
We.....all begin and end that way - I guess
Yet we walk through our lives
AVOIDING####### Being that way
Needing::::::::someone to be with
Geeze - You know - The Ideal Mate
The "One and Only"
HAH! I'll never be lonely!
Just to try and live with......
Our Love Match?
Inevitably***************
Ending in Quarrels
Fights and disagreements
KAPOW%^&!!! Like a Boxing Match
To separation - Then..........
Back by ourselves again

You can't purchase liquor, son. You're underage.
Pardon me, officer. May I see your badge?
Button your lip, son. Or you'll be resisting arrest.
But I'm 21, officer. Better check my ID, I'd suggest.
That's it for you, boy. I'm taking you down to the station.
I demand the right to a lawyer. He'll charge discrimination.
Why, you scum: Here's a knuckle sandwich for you -- KAPOW!
If I were white, you'd never try this -- no way, no how...

I know you are going thru the storms of life,
and you feel such misery and strife.
You feel as though no one is there,
and life can be cruel and unfair .
Just know one thing,I love you so,
in case you didn't know
We’ve been through a lot together,
in rough and tumultuous weather.
But you know what? We came through
and just know this, you will too
If I could I would dry all your tears
and listen to your many fears
Together we can face anything
you put the kapow in my zing

Bedazzled
that's how it hits you
all important WHAP SLAP look at that
coloured lights bling
and place your faith in
fixation on yet another political criminal
Bedazzled
shazam
sham or scam
will save you as you walk through
the plagiarized passages of doubt
yep
for sure
there is a way out
and a place to place your faith
in a tangle ball of wool
the felonious cats have played with
Chew yourself on that dry hairy fur ball
Claws of rhetoric
BAM WAP WOW
dazzles sycophantic
tells you every-think you think you want to hear
and put all your trust here, there, everywhere
and chomp on the placebo
of yet another political criminal
Different face
same photo-fit voice
burbling, fur-balling, the same old words
your introduction into their criminal world
KAPOW KABANG
bedazzled
and you're falling for it all over again
the collusive world
destroying the lives of every single human
Chew yourself on that dry hairy fur ball

Terror has returned to the heart of Gotham City
Commissioner Gordon’s task sure isn’t pretty
Penguin, the Joker and Riddler are back on the scene
Stirring terror in our hearts, they sure are so mean
Wearing his mask and cape is our hero Bruce Wayne
With Batman around we hope peace will reign
Driving at the speed of light, you can hear the tyres squeal
When Batman is behind the wheel of the ‘Batmobile’
Batman doesn’t possess specific super powers
But he outwits the villains for many hours
Working together with is his faithful sidekick Robin
ZAP! KAPOW! Soon the villain’s heads are throbbing
Above the city buildings way up high
The Batman spotlight illuminates the sky
With the criminals locked up in jail, their job is done
They return to the ‘Batcave’ after a successful outcome

Hushed by the stares
The moves, the everything
For in your eyes
Feeble and frail
Are synonyms
Of female
This silence is everywhere
In relationships, busy streets
Corporate realms and cowering in the dark
If only they knew the epicness
Deep within her heart
Humility preserved always
Glides clandestinely thru the noise
Lest they glance her shadow
And mistake it for her voice
Anxiety bubbles, bemoaning, bottled
A certain subtle potential overwhelming kapow!
But hushed by the stares
The daily humans who say no
Are her heart and mind worth naught?
In this bullying world
Too busy shouting and staring
To even recognize her
Much more listen to her thoughts?
Must she continue pacing this life?
God forbid she should rise
Be hushed and muted
Unsung to this realm
Fragile and frail
Lest we forget
She is merely female.

Here we go again, you yelling and my head doin spins.
Now both so loud…both tryin to win.
A battle not ment to be, between two who have something so unique;
Now hot biting lips and at times can’t speak.
B_tch is a word I try not to say, I know it burns but what else can I say
You choppin at me like a tree, molding me like clay.
Into who you see in front of you,
Doing stupid things I wouldn’t think to do.
But you know what “f__k this” “I can’t take it no more”
How strong can a man be, when he like nailed to the floor.
And you can take it how you wanna
Cuz that’s where we at right now,
Cuz don’t forget what you throwing
Also hitting like kapow!!!
When all I wanted to do…was just lay down.
So could you please just stop and think of this
You and I in this frantic twist.
All I want is my baby’s kiss.
Brainstorm…and imagine me,
Think of my eyes and what they see.
Something not working that used to be.

We should be as thick as water-we should
wait;
The half-life of the carbon in the waste product of the mollusk on the seafloor is
35913.78 turns of SOL(ace).
We should be like water we should stiffen ourselves against the brutal
elements and wait until the slowly dying star rises over the hill, heralding our
return to softness.
We should be malevolent, like water we should
erode away the creations of corrupt creatures.
I can see it now.
Through the cracks in the foundation the building we worm as liquids do.
then, and here's the crux of it, we
wait until a frost descends-
Kapow!
ICY Expansion as the concrete pops and quakes, a straw to
obliterate
the camel's back and bring us back to speed.
swiftness and Ionic bonds will serve us well.
Loose not your feeble footing lest you tumble into hell.

Here comes Marie with her face all sad and brown
Flowered house shoes flapping as her big feet hit the ground
Yelling, “Sammy’s gonna get me, get me good this time!”
“I cut him wi da knife, you know I drinks dat wine!”
“But he’s been out der cheeten, jus like he done before.”
“So I cut him once and twice I cut dat whore!”
I knew she wasn’t lying cause here comes Sammy now
No sooner did I blink is when he hit Marie, KAPOW!
House shoes went to flying, one landed here one there
Then she went to scratching and pulling at his hair
Marie picked up a bottle and cracked ole Sammy’s head
She said, “My Gawd I kilt him, he’s dead! He’s dead! He’s dead”
Sammy lay there quiet, head all red and wet
We sure thought his maker he’d done gone and met
Ambulance came and got him, took them both away
Marie barefoot and crying to fight another day
