Not Quite Superman My idol had been Superman; I’d worshipped him since I was four. The fact he was adopted too Caused me to like him even more. Decisions I would have to make Were often patterned after Clark – The glasses I would have to wear, The job on which I would embark. My feigned association got A little too far out of hand The day I saw a burglary And thought I’d take the crook in hand. I stepped into the nearest booth, Imagined my appearance changed, Then popped right out to stop the thief Who thought I was a man deranged. “Twas then I knew that Clark and I Had absolutely naught the same. My x-ray vision didn’t work; My superpowers never came! While lying in the ambulance The other fact I learned too late, A super trait I did not have – His power to regenerate.
