Nothin' Better To
            Do

            A monthly column of verse,
            musings and observations

            by Billy Jones.


            
Superman On A Bad
            Day


            
Does
            Superman ever have bad days when the villains win and those who
            count on him feel as if they've been let down?

            
Of late I've been trying to be Superman
            but I've had to face facts: Kryptonite has no effect on me. Neither
            does a yellow sun. I can't leap over tall buildings in a single
            bound and I'm not faster than a speeding locomotive. Oh sure,
            bullets still bounce off my chest... rubber bullets that is...

            


            When x-ray vision cannot see

            and bars you cannot bend,

            the world, a big catatastrophe

            and you're sure you're near your end.

            When evil comes to visit

            and there's nothing you can do,

            the pretty girls cry out in fear

            and you wish you'd only flew...


            
away... so far away...
