Archie, trembling, went to bed
       envisioning Veronica’s lips of red

     Imagine his surprise when instead 
       ~ Jughead there stopped him dead...

Momma said
Go ahead
Be misled
By jughead
That egghead.

So I did
Keeping Kidd,
Getting rid
Of bad id
Was redid.

       that I still read comic books?
or even to anyone 
    that I enjoy

I advise you to take a 
    comic book trip 
They are not just for children...
