Some drinks, some laughs, and, sure enough, did ‘paint the town’ a bit,
Then finally, they found themselves atop the Empire State,
Looked down upon that dizzying height, then started a debate . . .
“The wind is strong up here, you see,” the first guy told his mates,
“That if you jumped, it’s blow you back. You’d not meet Mister Fate!”
The second one, he looked at him, said, “Man, you’ve got to be
“The craziest guy I ever met. To believe I’d have to see!”
The first just shrugged and said,”Watch this!” then jumped right there and then,
And sure enough the wind, it blew, and brought him back again.
The second stared, thought this was great, said he’d give it a try,
Then copying his newfound friend, he leaped and tried to fly.
For him, the wind did not help out, and that, my friends, was that,
The poor man fell the whole way down and landed with a ‘splat’.
The third friend had been watching all along. He shook his head,
Disgusted at what he’d just seen, sad his new friend was dead,
He looked at his companion, said, “That was a piece of work!
And, Superman, when you are drunk, you really are a jerk!”

With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
Topics for the next few weeks...
I'd hate to be around Superman on April 1!
ReplyDeleteOh my...
ReplyDeleteNever knew the dark side of Super Man!
ReplyDeleteI shudder to think just how much alcohol Superman would have to consume to get drunk. And what he would do with a kryptonite cocktail under his belt.
ReplyDeleteSuper bad joke. Yuck, he sure is nasty.
ReplyDeleteYour rhyme is perfect, his behavior leaves much to be desired!
