Superman
Eagerly anticipated
Conscripted into lines
All of the colour but none of the smoke
It’s Friday night
And he’s had a few Pints
Of sup up and soak
There’s a queue at the place
Where the white queen rules
A place for a bit of sniff and snort
Teased out of hiding
With two tenner’s and a promise of more
No thought
No hesitation
No look of heartfelt perspiration
Just a couple of lines and an, I can do anything
I am superman
I rule supreme
Don’t mess
Don’t mix it with me
That’s the golden rule
I can jump
I can leap across tall buildings
At a single bound
Heart’s pumping
Charged up ready to go
Hold on who’s that lying
On the pavement below
No more flying
Heads banging
Who’s that shouting?
Eyes are blurring
What’s that clanging?
What’s all the fuss?
Just give us a hand up
I’ll be alright
Just give us a minute
Just feel like I’ve been hit by a bus
But I can stand
I can run
I am superman
Legs are a bit wobbly
But I can fly
Just one more snort
And a gentle toke
And I’ll be as right as rain
I’m always where the action is
I don’t need to be pushed around in a chair
More than just a bloke
I can fly........Can’t I?
I’m superman
Aren’t I?

Thanks for your comments guys. I have to say that I was thinking of the same advert but have also worked with people who have had a problem with the old white powder and have felt that they are invincible at times as a result, though thankfully not with the result described above.
