One day, Clark Kent will run away
and Spider-Man with Thor abscond.
Batman too will hide, and Iron man
his courage gone, will quickly disappear.
Cat woman stays at home that day
and Wonder Woman quickly wonders
why Hulk has gone to see his mum
and X Men flee the scene.

But until then, the world is safe
and generally a better place
with heroes bold and strong and true,
but none of them compare to you.
