Superhero Love?

 

 

She had a thing for Spiderman,

she loved his legs so hairy.

Some would shriek and run the tap,

she never found him scary,

 

The way he walked,

his great big eyes,

he drove her up the wall.

But he never did the dusting,

in fact, no work at all,

 

On the web hour after hour,

hanging round all day.

For her he lost his superpower,

“Don’t touch your flies”, she’d say. 

 

Stumbling legless in the door,

he scuttles into bed,

He weaves a tale, then spins some more,

They’re hanging by a thread.

 

She linked up with a Thunderbird,

Who begged to tie the knot

Brains his name, from what she’d heard,

The brightest of the lot.

 

No strings attached, her special friend,

Fab she thought his mind,

An episode without an end,

But love can make us blind.

 

Experimenting with female charms,

She hooked up with Elastigirl.

It felt so nice to feel her arms

Twice round her they would twirl.

 

She went out with Mr Invisible,

But he was never there.

So she fell for Mr Incredible,

His square jaw, his perfect hair.

 

His t shirt bulged, his muscles strong

But kind and gentle too,

He had issues, his powers gone,

But she had issues too.

 

She went out with Incredible Hulk,

If he attended anger classes,

He always bought his shirts in bulk

But things change, time passes.

 

A fling with Pinocchio went well

Of him she’d never tire

The love they had would often swell -

The joys of being a liar.

 

But soon she tired of perfect men,

And one thing then she knew,

Flaws are okay now and then,

Tango dances can take two

And finding Barbie takes a Ken

Too incredible can’t be true.

 

Incredible is not enough

To do amazing things

With superpowers and being so tough

They’re nothing more than flings.

 

So settling down became her vow

To find a steady man

who would provide more aah than wow

she’d be no Desperate Dan.

 

And now she’s found her Mr Right,

Who lives in a small flat,

She sometimes dreams alone at night,

Of Super this and Wonder that.

 

He doesn’t have those super powers,

But is kind and thoughtful too,

He tidies up the house for hours,

Things a hero wouldn’t do.

 

Then smiles at all the fun she had,

With men that others feared,

But now her life’s not all that bad,

And not quite half so weird.
