There was Samson and Hercules
Superman and Batman
Atlas And Tarzan
Xena and Spiderman
Balladeer and LongJohn
Mighty mouse and Sinbad
But none of them heroes
Like Passionate's Toerag

He floats like a butterfly
Stings like a bee
His hands are so fast
They'd dazzle Ali

Handsome and modest
Sweet and kind
Quiet and bashful
With a dillusional mind

Poetry expert
Nobody's Braver
A mind much sharper
Than your average third grader.

Yanno?, a spider bit spider man, and he became "Spiderman"...I heard a dung beetle bit Balladeer......

Toe hi there this is really really funny I love this it flows wonderfully and has me laughing.

I love that last line, and I now have a huge smile on my face. And what perchance bit you? Would it be a donkey? I’m as innocent as my mum honestly

Really well written and it brought the giggles


Love and warm stuff
As always

Yeah, you're just the average hero -
The sandwich one, I mean
A stale slice of bread or two
With ham stuck in between.

The problem is you got no taste.
The upper crust you're not.
Between your outside mask is just
Some meat that's gone to rot!

"Bite me!" you scream to passers-by
But no one ever will
'Cause you are too distasteful
Even for a cannibal!

So, hi there, average hero
Sitting high on deli shelf
You'll go untouched by human lips
You'll have to bite yourself!


good to see ya, retard....

Good to see your humor here in the blue pages, you've been missed.  You aren't going to take that from that Spam-logged bug swatter are  you?

Talk about an emotional roller coaster... *G*... Knowing I missed one of your all-too-rare visits breaks this suthern gal's heart... but reading your words brings a smile back to my face. So... mixed tears, sorrow and laughter. *S*

But nuthin's average about you... excepting maybe your choice of adversaries. LOL (My lips ARE human, Bal... so there! LOL)

I enjoyed this very much, sweets... The werk monster has me spinning so much I thought I'd forgotten how to grin... you're a hero indeed. *G*
