Taking A Fall Poem by Barry Middleton

Batman and Robin could not stop sobbin'
as Gotham became a dark slum
our heroes are dead and it gets to my head
for the goons have us under their thumb

Superman crashed ‘cause he didn't have cash
to escape from the green kryptonite
he fell where he stood in a bad neighborhood
and that was the end of his flight

Wonder Woman too saw her ticket was due
when her bracelets were stolen and hocked
she took up a job and married a slob
and I must admit I was shocked

That's the way that it goes as everyone knows
and the mighty might well wear a crown
but the end of the day can bring their dismay
for tomorrow they may be brought down
