Aftermath Man

Oh shit, dawg!
for real just got real
but for poor Aftermath Man
you do just gotta feel
He’s always keen to help out
to use his powers for Right and Good
but by day he works in an office
while he dreams and thinks he could
take on the baddies and the villains
and sock it to ‘em right where it stings
but when there’s a need for superheroes
he always too late to those things
He’ll be sitting at his desk in the office
being totally incognito n’ stuff
when he’ll hear of a dire situation
like a duel or a fight or a fisticuff
so he’ll run to the toilets to change into
his stockings and long cape and facemask
only to emerge in all his lycra finery
to discover the drama has past
Head down and dejected and moody
he mopes back to the men’s room to undress
to return as boring old Office Dude
Sometimes he thinks he'll just go and confess
to being the guy in the outfit
He wonders if he really ever truly can
make the big, dramatic revelation
“Hey everyone, I’m Aftermath Man!”
