Poetry Thursday

 

My friend who is one spoiled cat gave me the picture below for the Thursday Poetry blog hop

When criminals hatch their nefarious plan

And wreck havoc despite police doing all they can

There is one hero that can be counted upon again and again

The great cardboard man

You can’t rip him agape

He is put together with two layers of extra strong tape

His edges give criminals a heck of a scrape

Heavy duty staples are attached to his cape

He uses his cardboard car to track down the rats

A much cooler ride than the one owned by his friend Bats

The only downfall is the slippery cardboard door mats

And then when he parks it and returns the car is filled with cats

His nemesis is scissor girl

Who ran a blade across him and caused his pants to unfurl

Scissor girl was a sharp witted churl

And made those who crossed her stomach churl

Cardboard man had a ward he hoped to adopt

But as a sidekick he flopped

His name was Bubble Wrap boy but his career stopped

Wben he got caught by Scissor Girl and was popped

Cardboard Man had a secret lair

Which if found he would be greatly impair

It was at a UHaul storage store behind the auto repair

He could blend in with the other boxed with nary a care

But Cardboard Man had a flaw which made the people fret

And would cause him to relent

Because in the rain the people were under threat

Cardboard Man’s kryptonite was he collapsed when wet
