Everyone in my world is nice, kind, and caring. Yeah... right, and I'm Superman. No not really -- more like Batman. I don't have any super powers, just some really cool gadgets. I may not be as good looking as Batman, but I do have a way cooler cape. I have one arch nemesis in my world, he calls himself Mity Boy, but I call him The Worm. His real name is Eugene or something like that -- nobody really cares.
The Worm is a super villain. I call him The Worm because he's wormed his way out of every trap I've set for him. He does the worst things! I remember there was this one time – at band camp... he put peanut butter in my flute! To get back at him, I tried to fill his tuba with peanut butter. Do you have any idea how much peanut butter it takes to fill a tuba? I even threw in the jelly and that didn't even fill the darn thing! I ended up getting in trouble for it. Everyone knew it was me because I was the only one who had crunchy peanut butter at band camp. Not to mention... my banana jelly.
Most people think that it’s easy to be a superhero; you get all the girls and everyone likes you. Well, they are wrong! Being a superhero can be very challenging. It’s not always easy to pick a cool name like Batman or Superman -- sometimes this can be very stressing. People never seem to like the names I try to give myself, such as Duckman, Superduck, Headless Chicken, and some other names that I probably shouldn’t mention. As of right now, I am trying the nickname Mondo. Getting the girls is not all that easy either. I thought that all the girls would want a superhero… unfortunately, no. How come Spiderman got a girl when he wears that stupid mask? My world can be pretty confusing most of the time, which brings me to another bad thing about being a superhero.
Do you know what it’s like to fight crime? Well… obviously not because if you did then you wouldn’t be imagining yourself as a superhero right now. You see, there’s normally only one superhero, which is you, and there’s what seems like a kajillion bad dudes. Trying out new gadgets when you are trying to defeat a mastermind makes your life as a superhero even harder. I once invented a gadget called “The Net O-matic”. My new invention was supposed to shoot nets that wrap around the victim. Unfortunately, there was a miscalculation on my part and things went horribly wrong. All that I will say is that it involved an angry lunch lady and a food fight in the cafeteria.
So, I hope you have learned a valuable lesson -- it's not as fun as you might think to be a superhero. But one day, after The Worm is defeated, I might get a girl. But there’ll probably be a lot of time from now until then to work on my pickup lines. The girls aren’t responding to “hey I’m a superhero – and I fight crime” or “hey... I like rubber duckies.” Well, I suppose I should go back to knitting my superhero outfit, because that’s what superheroes do! Right?
In the end, whether you are big, or small, we are all superheroes. It's all about the attitude.
War is Wrong
War is wrong,
to fight you must be strong.
The sad men's blood is red,
still bodies are dead.
Soldiers watch as their best
friends die,
some begin to cry.
But they fight for a cause,
and because of this some pause.
Brave are the soldiers asleep
in the loft,
hearing frantic screams quite oft.
War is wrong,
an end - for this I long.
Grounded
I am grounded today,
just nothing goes my way.
I don't know what season it is July or Atumn,
either way my mama still hurt my bottom.
I wonder if my mom did some crazy brain switch,
perhaps with an evil witch.
Well I better get back to my grounding time,
oh great now my brothers trying to be a mime.
Sickness
I am full of sickness today,
I haven't much to say.
I am sore in the throat,
and feel like throwing someone in a moat.
I'm trapped in my room for a while,
being sick is quite vile.
I'm on medication for my health,
I am waiting for the moment I feel better.
Since this isn't making much sense,
I'm going to stop and build up my immune defense.
