Superman & Dolls

 Sis was playing with dolls

on the front screened-in porch,

and I was playing with my army men

in the living room.

 

She asked me if I wanted to play.

So, I took one of my army men

and used a section of tissue paper

as a cape, securing it

with a rubber band

around its neck.

He became Superman and

flew out to the porch.

 

In the meantime

her doll,

who was ten times larger,

was in trouble.

She was being mistreated

by Ken.

 

Superman saved the day

by beating up Ken

who also was ten times larger.

Barbie dumped Ken

for a superman

who was ten times smaller.

 

No wrong was ever too big

for Superman to right,

but this love stuff

was too much

for even him to handle.

 

So up and away he flew,

back to the living room,

far away from  

the larger-than-life world

of glitter and romance.
