The NaPoWriMo prompt for the day was to write a poem in a voice not your own, specifically that of a superhero, or perhaps a supervillian. So here goes!
Of Superheroes and What Not.
If you’re a perfectly honest person,
You’ll have to admit I’m the best.
Look at things intellectually,
Put your old superheroes to the test.
Bat Man is all dark and emo,
Robin’s a little bit gay
I’d say Catwoman is kinda hot
But I’m a guy, so what else would I say?
Is there anything to say about Spiderman?
The Captain is a little uptight
Hawkeye just shoots his arrows
But Hulk is actually alright.
Thor tries just a little too hard
Colton ended up dead
Nick Fury’s a bit of a jerkoff
Messing with everyone’s head.
I can’t say much about Black Widow
At least not and sleep well at night
Because Pepper is probably listening
And then we’ll just get in a fight.
Then there’s moi, devilishly handsome
smart, and rich, and all that,
a billionaire philanthropist
I’ll suit up at the drop of a hat.
So some might say I’m a meanie
Other’s say I’ve no heart,
I’ve got one right here, plugged into my chest
And another in a box just to start.
So maybe I do my own thing now and then
A team player I am not
But when you look as good as I do,
Well you just have to use what you’ve got.
