Stain Boy, by Tim Burton

Of all the super heroes,
the strangest one by far,
doesn’t have a special power,
or drive a fancy car.

Next to Superman and Batman,
I guess he must seem tame.
But to me his is quite special,
and Stain Boy is his name.

He can’t fly around tall buildings,
or outrun a speeding train,
the only talent he seems to have
is to leave a nasty stain.

Sometimes I know it bothers him,
that he can’t run or swim or fly,
and because of this one ability,
his dry cleaning bill’s sky-high.
