Once Upon A Time, In Gotham City, (Parody) Poem by Ryan Brodesser

Now it’s always once upon a crime,

In gotham city,

it’s a big old bad crime ridden corrupt ol place it’s true

but the murders are contagious there

there’re always committed to Blackgate there

loonies are nothing new


Ain't it great the way it all begins

In Gotham city?

corrupt politicians, working for their own ends

Nobody cares who you may have killed yesterday

or if you get mugged and killed along the way

in a city that a desperate vigilant defends


So all you wackos don’t be shy,

bring down the city and let innocents die

the dark knight ain't gonna believe your lies

power is dying to bring you down

cause a dreams no crime

not once upon a time,

yeah, once upon a time, in Gotham city
