Poetry Thursday

  

Once again Angel Sammys and and Teddys Pawetatonc have challenged us to write a poem about the picture below.  Please to enjoy

Suzy thought her dad was a superhero because he wore a cape

Her mother told her that her dad stole her bike because he was too lazy to walk down the road to vape

And that he didn't wear a cape to impress

But liked to squeeze himself into mommy’s dress

His neighbors considered him crazed zealot

Because he rode on a tiny bike with a pink helmet

 With a pink top and skirt to match

He gave the neighbors a reason to look for a new flat.

Suzy said he rode off to fight crime

Her mom said if the crime was uphill they would get away because her dad could not climb

Suzy said the villains feared him

Her mom was worried Suzy and her dad were equally dim

Suzy’s mom didn’t know how much longer she could put up with his idiosyncraties

And his belief in conspiracies 

She had vowed to death do their part

But did that mean staying with someone who got trespassed for riding his bike in the produce mart

One day into town came the O’Brien gang

And where they went crime did reign

With little trouble they chased off the police force

And took over the town as a matter of course

Only one man stood between the town and ruin

And their ignoring the constitution 

Suzy’s dad rode up on his bike

And the O’Brien gang who a Gypsy had told could only be defeated by a grown man in a pink dress on a bike ran in fright

Suzy hugged her dad, a man who was truly super

Who chased off the gang like a shark scared by Matt Hooper

And Suzy’s mom no longer thought her husband was a zero 

But a true hero
