We’ve had enough of traveling.
We’ve had enough of travelling
At least by sea and air
The noisy ferry cabins
The crush of Ryanair
Maybe we’ll drive a hundred ‘k’
To hotel or ‘B&B’
For forest or a city break
(For we live close by the sea)
We’ve seen a little of the world
Though far less than our kids
And their kids will see more than them
For that’s the way life is
With gammy legs and short on hair
Now being home is best
Our own things all around us
Our own bed for a rest
We’ll lunch in our conservatory
Gaze out across the fields
Ignoring bumph from Thomas Cook
And all those special ‘deals’
The sparrows on the bird-bath
The neighbours calling by
A friendly chat, a glass of wine
Without a reason why
No, we’ll go no more a-travelling.
At least by sea and air
We’ll watch the world on our big teevee
From the comfort of our chair
John Hanscomb, 2018

I'm a genie and Batman wangled
a one-wish, real deal from me;
he said graveyard shift duties
have been driving him real nuts lately;
he was bored flapping nocturnal,
chasing this and that criminal.
He wanted to be Spiderman,
that celebrity on teevee;
I said yes, but identical identities
I couldn't guarantee;
for crimes of impersonation he shouldn't
look at me, I was merely his genie.
On his wish he would insist;
I granted it with a minor twist:
the spider silk wouldn't zip out
from his fingers or from his wrist,
but through his shoes or the crotch
of his pants, whichever opened first.
So, if the guy swooshes by upright,
that's the Spiderman alright;
if he dangles upside down by his butt
that's the man who's a bat;
if that's unsightly, don't blame me,
that's arachnid anatomy!

Batman wangled a one-wish deal from a genie fair and real,
ruing that his graveyard shift duty had been driving him nutty,
this flapping around nocturnal, chasing this and that criminal.
He wanted to be Spiderman, that glitzy celebrity on teevee,
and genie said yes, but would not guarantee identical identity,
and that impersonation or trademark law Batman ought to know.
Batman insisted on his wish, genie granted it with a minor twist:
the spider silken cord wouldn't zip out straight from his wrist,
but through holes of his shoes or pants, whichever opened first.
So, folks, if a guy swishes by upright, that's the real Spiderman alright,
but if he dangles upside down by his butt, then that's him, the man-bat,
and if that's unsightly, that's arachnid anatomy, don't blame the genie!
