37

Our local picture house was showing a batman movie

4e

You see this guy fly up in the sky, thought to myself, 'why shouldn't i?'

35

So i bought a pair of wings, went up upon a wall

47

I was about to jump into the air when a guy from the street called

3f

He said, 'hey wait a minute! don't you realize the danger?

34

What do you think you are, some kind of angel?'

5

3c

I considered for a minute, realized he spoke the truth.

3c

For the barbells on my eyelids only emphasised my youth

40

And the sawdust in my plimsolls means the same to him as me

42

But that's neither here nor further, so i spoke considerately

38

'now if you understand just what i'm trying to say,

3d

Whatever you do, don't grin, you'll give the game away!'

5

40

By now a crowd had gathered and it seemed that all was lost

3f

In the anger of the moment i had diced with death and lost

3c

It seemed to me the time was right so i burst into song

3d

In the anger of the moment the crowd began to sing along

32

I could not see a way out of this predicament

47

Just then a breeze came through the trees and up in the air i went

5

34

I must have flown a mile, or maybe it was eight

3b

Thought to myself pretty soon i'd hit the golden gates

37

Just then a passing bird for no reason i could see

37

Took a peck at my wings and that was the end of me

3f

I went down, hit the ground faster than the speed of sound

37

Luckily i broke no bones only tore my underclothes
