Batman and the Maid

However sad for a true man

It has been said that a woman

Either loves or hates; she knows no medium

We have here two fates; we’ve here no premium

Batman throbs in death’s three throes

Found he’s facing fiendish foes

Vengefulness, ciao; no rhyme nor reason

Treasureless now; treated as treason

A case of spirits, a case of changes

Someone’s demerits, someone’s phalanges

Into putrid vinegar my sweetest wine’s turned

Sweetest weekend visitor today my love spurned

But the maid, the one, she’s picture-perfect

By no means a nun, most wanted object

I stroll astray up the Boulevard

Mjolnir’s away, mine’s the blue award

Woes sough; it’s scorching, beautiful

Mine’s now an empty crucible

The damsel in my dream, she’s gone

My lovely blue-eyed queen, fair swan

I ponder proposing; the call’s for as bold a move

I wonder, yes, willing; my quandary it may behoove

When I find my way home

Her word is froth with foam

I feel destitute, all stripped of her favor

My girl’s resolute; in her sound, no quaver

And back onto Norse, Valhalla’s for a hero slain

In battle or worse, that is the point when ends the pain

There’s no hero here, no hail nor hiss

I’m but a man, mere, no more no less

The damsel in my dream, she’s gone

My lovely blue-eyed queen, fair swan

Now solitude, deprived of her grace

No latitude, not more see her face
