I wish to start by telling you of a moment
When I surprised my nephews in costume
I was BatDan and a friend was the Joker
We played out a little story and sat for tea
I'm not ashamed to say I didn't take it off
Dropped to the train station feeling incredible
I hear people at a pub shouting at me
As I finished rolling my smoke, there stood three men in front of me
Asking for pictures then walking back over the road
I walked down the path to puff away from the people
As I walked back up feeling a awesome sense of pride
A lady starts shouting "someone call the police"
I laugh in my head thinking but I am here-no need to fear
To my surprise in my next stride I see a guy grab another guy
It's one of the lads that was over at the pub
As he flings a young boy at the window I step straight in
My arm is in front of the aggressor as he trys a head butt
Luckily it missed and he just looked at me for a second
Wanting to hit this other boy for knocking his phone on the floor
My response was "is it really worth getting nicked for"
Finally one of his group come and helped pull him off.
I honestly still can't believe all that happened
It actually started a bit of a pattern a few more times I went out as BatDan
The last at a wedding party and that story is nearly the same
Apon reflection last night of always watching heroes
Be it John Wayne, Bruce Lee or cartoon legends
As a man I feel it is in my blood to want to protect
Although I got fed with stories of heroes & villains
We actually all play both sides and need to acknowledge
The good, bad and ugly that lives deep within us all
Once embarrassed you'll see we are all imperfectly beautiful
It's times to become alive with all you know inside
The dark and the light resonating throughout life - Everlasting for all time

- Comment from author about the poem: I had a few songs in mind for this but thought of the video I did for the kids at a different time, so I added that instead. A bit slow but still wanted you to see, if this reads well then I may write of the other times I adventured into the concert jungle. Thank you to everyone as always for taking the time to read ramblings of this beings life play. Much peace and respect

You two on telly? BatDan and BatDog? Will the dog take part, or is it just wanting food titbits?! heehee.
Answer is below, missed the space 😉
All dogs are mine, I'm part Dolittle too.
Nothing can stand in my way
I'm taking over the world
Amazing poet during the day, superhero by night? What can’t you do? You write does has a lot of truth though, we all play both sides of the spectrum. If you need a robin though, I’m one message away. 🙂
Just walk on water but I'm sure I will soon.
That's good to know I'll be sure to send you a signal and I'll be there in a flash too.
Much appreciated my friend.
Not all superhero’s wear capes... but BatDan does 😂 would of been funny to see batman saving some kid from getting beaten up and I bet for on lookers it was a sight to be hold 😂
Yeah man the look on the young mans face was priceless.
Your laughter is much appreciated!
quite the story.
did it really happen?
Buddy every word is true, this was at my home town bracknell then travelled back to Brighton on the train.
Unless I'm writing about unicorns and leprechaun it's from my life, I've walked enough miles to not disrespect the truth.
Much peace and respect
its always good to write something interesting.
I had to read your poem because it was about my favourite superhero, with a hint of my favourite super villain (the joker).
Was Harley Quinn out?
Seriously though. I know batman is less super hero.and more super rich. But he reaches towards strength and light from so much darkness inside.
And he has a batcave.
I'm not a big comic reader, but I don't think Harley Quinn managed the same rising from her darkness. She.seems more compelled towards it. But I'm still rooting for her. Won't give up rooting!
Love it! Yes I feel the same, the story of using the darkness from one's life for good is what really resonates with me. My son on the other hand identified with the Joker but he is still learning, or maybe it's just all about Quinn 😉
