Heros Meeting

the phantom called a meeting, for he wished to unionize
the trucks had been delivering, unloading their supplies.
  Bat man and his robin boy, busted threw the night
  the shadow showed up early, to find the perfect light.
the ranger with his six gun, didn't come alone
tanto rode up with him, mounted on his roan.
  Cisco came in swaying, to his mariachi band
  poncho had his plate of beans and burrito in his hand.
when zero used the bathroom, that's when he left his mark
and the sargent rode in circles all about the park.
  When spider man showed up, his shirt was all a mess
  a pigeon on a window sill, had do-doed on his vest.
i tell you it was crazy, when they argued over dues
all they did was sit and eat and drink the phantoms booze.
  when the meeting was adjourned, the phantom left the room
   the heros followed close behind and left the place in ruins.
they should never organize, that should come as no surprise
one has but to realize, that's why they all wear a disguise.
                                                                              the phantom lady
