The Day I Saw Batman

There he stood on the sidewalk.

The Day I Saw Batman

 

By Elton Camp

 

When I was walking along in Gotham City

The sight I saw seemed to be such a pity

 

There stood Batman checking his cell phone

With no Robin about, he was quite alone

 

Batman’s appearance I certainly did hate

For he had gained a whole lot of weight

 

The Joker and the Penguin had little to fear

Even if Batman should manage to come near

 

The arch criminals could simply run away

Lagging far behind poor Batman would stay

 

The cowl, his millionaire identity concealed

To Bruce Wayne, too much food had appealed

 

The sight made me doubt that the police chief

Would ask his help in catching a villain or thief

 

I watched as Batman climbed into his car

Prius, not the Batmobile, would go slow but far

 

Somehow, it seemed to me to be such a shame

Batman had lost almost everything but his name

Cute, lighthearted read. The title caught my eye, hubby is a huge, Batman fan, not a 'huge Batman' fan. The picture was entertaining.
