Thousands of New Yorkers
Are dying every day,
Yet no one has the courage
To step on up and say
“Send every smart-mouthed teenager
“Some radioactive Purell.”
We could have superheroes by now
But the government says “Oh well…”

A Hero for All
“Save us! Save us!”
The commoners cry,
But who can save them?
It is I!
I fly in to the rescue
Whatever the hour.
I’m Powerhouse William,
But you can call me Will Power.
I give you the strength
To deny temptation,
But my power is subject
To a few limitations.
I do not work evenings
Or when chocolate is involved.
Other than that, just call me
And your problem is solved.

Heroes
You go out to the movies
To watch a giant screen,
Hoping to be entertained
By J-Lo or Charlie Sheen.
But what’s hot at the movies
Are Superheroes. I must say
That I believe in real life.
We’re all heroes in our way.
According to the latest films
Batman was a wealthy man
Who was horribly afraid of bats.
By that logic, I’m Spiderman.
Superman came from the sky
And had a funny name (Kal-El).
So pilots named Shaniqua
Are super instead of lame (Well, well).
And when I started this poem
It seemed easier than it is.
So I’m leaving, to fix my wrinkly shirt,
‘Cause at the iron, man, I’m a whizz!
