He sails the skies
blazing towards the dawn
to correct injustice
with his big S on his blue outfit and flowing red cape.
Always the champion
ever the virtuous defender of right
a hero of alien birth who constantly saves the day.
But one thing I bet to know,
who gets stuck doing his laundry?
Surely you need super soap
for washing all those super clothes?
Bet they are a pain to iron too.
And what kind of underpants does he prefer, boxer or briefs?
The public has a right to know.
Seems important for us to discover
since he has to buy them somewhere.
Because maybe, just maybe
they would help protect us too.
I sure would love to have a pair
which might help me bend steel or protect against a bullet.
At least I could pretend it was so, if not,
then I could moon the bad guys
before running away
tossing them a big red S to distract them
from the yellow on my spine.

Funny! I always figured that the underpants were the source of Clark Kent's true powers. And as to who does his laundry... I bet Superman has some super sweat stains. Ick... I love your poem and thanks for entering. Luck! -

Thank you Gaylene. I'd worry most about Krytonite cooties! Course I would naturally wash them if he let me borrow them.

This is really, really good I loved it!
"I sure would love to have a pair
which might help me bend steel or protect against a bullet."
lol, at "who gets stuck doing his laundry?", excellent, I thought this would be a hard title to write for too

You're so funny. Yeah, we do need to know those kinds of things? I mean does he have to go to some coin operated Laundromat? If so, where does he put the quarters in his outfit? Thanks for the great comment.
