Them and Us

Garry

I saved the earth last Tuesday
And twice the week before.
It’s getting kinda boring
I don’t want to do it any more


I mean there’s only so many aliens,
with teeth like 6 inch nails,
That you can chase around the universe
Before the excitement palls


I’m a teenage super hero
And it’s really not that hot
You’d think super powers were awesome
But really, no they’re not.


I just want to be normal
And have to go to school
I’d moan about the teachers
And all their stupid rules.


I’d forget to do my homework
and have to do it on the bus
I don’t want to be a them
I want to be an us

    And that cape keeps getting in the way . And that udderwear worn outside the tights gets way to many snickles , snorts and outlandish laughs .

      Good write. It can be hard to just be ourselves sometimes.
