There once was a man from Peru
Who couldn’t find his passport, and eventually made it to Brooklyn,
nothing else interesting happened to him
Except the part where he ate Batman
But we don’t talk about that.
(He mistakenly believed that this would give him the powers of a bat. It did not, although he already started with a petty big range of hearing.)
In the meantime, two roads in a snowy wood, and since all I had on were sneakers, I decided not to go in.
Batman made no comments on the matter, although I begin to wonder if he accidentally superglued his palm to his forehead, since that’s how he always looks when I see him.
Hickory dickory dock,
Nothing rhymes with ‘clock’.

I could write a thousand lines
Over a thousand nights
And still not explain to you
How you’re my Faerie Lights
I could love you forever
If I could live that long
If loving you is right,
I need to figure out how to stop being wrong.
________
One day a dashing knight
Took a crashing flight
From being thrown by the Dragon
And whilst in the air
He began to care
If he won or lost the fight.
So he ran out of there as fast as he could, because he wasn’t an idiot.
