Written for:  April 2022 PAD Challenge - Day 24

"Write a superhero or super-villain poem."


Cannot decide on the worst villain–
Captain Hook, team of Boris and Natasha,
callous witch with poisoned apple, and pointed chin.
Could be Snidely Whiplash, or Red Queen, a Wonderlander.

A plotting Captain Hook was feared
as he forced trembling men to walk the plank.
As for Boris and Natasha, no one cheered.
A witch with poisoned apple pretended it was a prank.

Not a match for Dudley Do-Right, Snidely's plans were foiled.
Nell's cries for help were clearly heard.
Nasty Red Queen shouted; subjects stopped being loyal.
No tarts were ever discovered, names never learned.

Never trust a person named Hook
nor a team of Russians out for squirrel and moose.
Not wise to accept an apple from a stranger with evil looks.
Naughty Snidely Whiplash will fail to ever let you loose.
