Ode To Spiderman Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello

Ode To Spiderman

Rating: 5.0


The wallclimber is is is is is, mm, is is is, er, is is, ah,
Is at home again
Wished Auntie May recovered so asked Mephisto a spell.
So his wife Mary Jane went away,
He went back to some years ago
Alone together with little aunt. IS you crazy?
Retire as superhero not as man.
How fine it was! Flyin' about among
Skyscrapers as trees, ya hung on to ur web!
What is lost won't return
What is removed should be accepted.
U had a feeling of guilt about ur uncle's death.
Too many struggles. All those strikes.
Aunt May got antique. Get ur wife come back.
You'll be busy anyway: sports, gardenin',
Work, bringin' up children and...love for ur wife.
They're struggles as well. Leave ur place
To another superhero. Just give me a moment...
Among the tifosi of both competitors,
A guy is going away with the bag of stolen money EVER.
God damn him! Well, so much the worse for him.

Bravo Paolo :) This one is very cute - i can imagine a man retired superhero :) . It is just brilliant idea - end i really enjoy the end of the poem - as if a dog is retired, but the instinct is still there :) . Great one

I love the sense of fun and wit woven into the everyday here. Of course superheros still have an everyday life and you displayed that so well here. Well done - it was fun reading! HG: -) xx
