"Captain Who?"
by Max PhineasFeeling belittled by my
Delusions of grandeur, I
tied on a cape
for my nine-to-five.
Ridding the Earth of evil
Scum from the bottom
of defenseless citizens'
septic tanks.
With puffed-out chest
I bravely go where few dare
To stay and smell.
Because Captain Planet
Wants your drinking water clean
But guess who he calls when his pure orations
Can't sanitize the toxic green
that lurks below
before I show
Up to the task
On with the mask
So you may drink
Clear liquid with
Clear conscience. 02/08/2010 Posted on 02/08/2010
