Why Can't I?
You can’t defeat me!
You can’t stop my crimes!
I’ll someday get it right, you see,
I’ll even do it speaking rhymes.
I can rob a bank.
I can end it all.
Your hero powers have been shrank -
Or is it shrunk? I can’t recall.
That’s besides the point.
I’ll still win this day.
I’m so sorry to disappoint,
This will be your demise, I say!
Why destroy, you ask?
I don’t really know.
I haven’t had a tragic past.
I guess it’s fun to be your foe.
It is a pleasure
To rob this here vault.
I do not need all that treasure,
But I do need the extra…salt!
Yes, you are a salty,
That’s what makes this fun!
I love this strife and your faulty
Attempts to stop what I have done.
But you can’t win me!
You can’t stop my crimes!
This time I got it right, you see,
And I did this while speaking rhymes!
