supervillain poem 

this poem is a cad,
not a single scad of good, super 
-latively bad. 

she’s had it with 
meter and goodie-two-shoes 
rhyme and perfect 

               timing. she’s looking 
(in Gotham
in Valhalla
in Suburbia) 
for an es
-cape. 

(she can’t fly, but she’ll try.) 

she’s horrible and incorrigible 
and evil to the core. she’s mean 
and always makes a scene and 
leaves wet towels 
on the bathroom floor. 

she’s even got a few dirty 
words to spew 
(like mud 
and smudge 
and grimy 
grubby soot)

truth be told, she could 
really use 
a bath. 

(maniacal laugh, maniacal laugh)

In April, we poem.

    Excellent.

    I’m always so enamored with your precise rhythms. The way you control the poem impresses me to no end.

    “timing. she’s looking
    (in Gotham
    in Valhalla”

    “she’s horrible and incorrigible
    and evil to the core. she’s mean
    and always makes a scene and
    leaves wet towels
    on the bathroom floor.”

    Love ❤
