"Meanwhile, In the Alley..."
Richard F. Yates
25 Mar. 2008
Shadowy figures plot our hero's destruction!
We know their plans
We were eavesdropping
Just outside the panel
"Meanwhile, in the alley..."
reads the caption
"Oh ho!" we think
watching every sneering crook
Hate radiating from the mastermind
obsessed with murder
We suck in every detail
of this sinister plan
through our clenched teeth
The trap is ingenious
We wince
The hero's in trouble
For real this time
It's diabolical
Foolproof!
If only we could send a message
Leave some clue
to undoing this horrific scheme
It could be the end
The villains triumphant
Truth and right and justice
finally done in
Read the panel again
There must be a flaw
Some way for our hero to survive
If only we can find it
