Poetry for a Superhero in a Pink Tutu

Gerald was a journalist

Who thought he had super POWERS

And would hang about at stations

Trying to stop trains

For hours and hours and HOURS

And was often told by the police

This was a silly thing to DO

And he was often caught

In telephone boxes

Changing out of his formal suit

And into a rather fetching pink TUTU

You see

He could not wear his superman outfit

Because his fellow journalist

Bruce Kent said

In a formal letter from his solicitor

He would SUE

And it is hard to believe and keep faith

When you are trapped

On that speeding train

Hurtling along the railway TRACK

That the superhero in a Pink tutu

Will stop it and safely get you BACK

But he did once save a cat

Trapped high up in a TREE

And the picture in the local paper

Was an interesting one to SEE

Is it a Bird

Is it a Plane

No its

Tutu-Man . . . . .superhero sort of?
