"A VISIT FROM NICK FURY" WITH APOLOGIES TO CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE

2009-12-25T06:53:12Z

"A Visit From Nick Fury"
With Apologies To Clement Clarke Moore

'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even this louse;
The longbox was hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that new comics soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of X-Box games danced in their heads;

Mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the head to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I ran like The Flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mystery to subjects below,
When, what to my wandering eyes should appear,
But agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and eight flying in gear,
With a bitter old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Col. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his agents they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Gaffer! Now, Gabe Jones! Now, Koenig and Jimmy!
On, Dugan! on Stupid! on, Goner let's shimmy!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now smash Hydra! dash Hydra! dash Hydra all!"

As dry heaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the Agents they flew,
With the squad full of boys, and Nick Fury, too.
And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The punching and jawing of each little "Oof!"
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney Nick Fury came with a bound.

He was dressed all in gear, from his head to his boot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with gashes and soot;
A bundle of foes he had flung off his back,
And he looked like a meddler, just opening his pack.
His eye-how it twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a berry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the stubbled chin was as bright as the snow;
The stub of a cigar held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a round little telly,
That shook when he laughed like a soldier named Kelly.
He was onery and tough, a gun-toting elf,
And I gasped when I saw him, in spite of myself;

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And killed off Strucker, then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his pose,
And giving a nod, up to the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his car, to his team gave a epistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a missile.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

"HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL,
AND TO ALL A GOOD FIGHT!"

Sgt. Rock is comin'
Sgt. Rock is comin'

"LOGAN THE X-MAN" TO THE TUNE OF "FROSTY THE SNOWMAN"

2009-12-10T05:30:18Z

"Logan The X-Man"
To The Tune Of "Frosty The Snowman"

Logan the X-Man

Was a melancholy soul

With a newborn gripe and some metal claws

And two eyes made out a goal

Logan the X-Man

Is a scary male they say

He was made up so

But the mutants know

How he came to life one day

There must have been some tragic

In that old trick vat they found

For when they placed it in his head

He began to dash around

Logan the X-Man

Was alive as he could be

And the mutants say

He could slash and flay

Just to maim, sez you and me

Logan the X-Man

Knew the sun was not that day

So he said let's run

And we'll have some fun

Now before I get away

Down to the village

With some new tricks in his hands

Running here and there all around the Hulk

Saying catch me if you can

He led them down the streets of town

Right to the Wen-Di-Go

And he only paused a moment when

He heard him holler "NO!"

Logan the X-Man

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye

Saying don't you try

I'll be back again some day

SNIKTETY SNIKT SNIKT!

SNIKTETY SNIKT SNIKT!

Look at Logan go!

SNIKTETY SNIKT SNIKT!

SNIKTETY SNIKT SNIKT!

Over the hills of snow

"HUGHIE, THE NEW BOYS RECRUIT" TO THE TUNE OF "RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER"

"Hughie, The New Boys Recruit"
To The Tune Of "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer"

Hughie, the new Boys recruit
had a very whiny pose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it shows.

All of the super heroes
used to laugh and called him lame.
They never let poor Hughie
mourn in any recruit shame.

Then one sunny afternoon
Butcher came to say:
'Hughie with your foes so tight,
won't you join me mates tonight?'

Then all the heroes feared him
When he got some Compound V,
Hughie the new Boys recruit,
They'll go down in this story.

"TWELVE DELAYED" (WITH APOLOGIES TO LANGSTON HUGHES)

2009-11-30T05:45:23Z

"Twelve Delayed"

(With Apologies To Langston Hughes)

What happens to The Twelve delayed?

Does it rise up
like a razor in the run?
Or fester at the store-
and then done?
Does it sink like rotten wheat?
Or dust and linger over
like a syrupy tweet?

Maybe it just lags
like a heavy toad.

Or does it implode?

"DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT DARK KNIGHT" (WITH APOLOGIES TO DYLAN THOMAS)

2009-11-29T20:13:19Z

"Do Not Go Gentle Into That Dark Knight"
(With Apologies To Dylan Thomas)

Do not go gentle into that Dark Knight,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the Knight.

Though Batman at his end knows Dark is Knight,
Because his words had forked no lightning he
Does not go gentle into that Dark Knight.

Lantern, the last waves by, crying how bright
His frail deeds might have danced in a green ray.
Rage, rage against the dying of the Knight.

Clark Kent who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learns, too late, he grieved it on its way,
Does not go gentle into that Dark Knight.

Brave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the Knight.

And you, Bruce Wayne, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce fears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that Dark Knight.
Rage, rage against the dying of the Knight.

"COMIC 18" (WITH APOLOGIES TO WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE)

2009-11-29T06:48:18Z

Comic 18

(With Apologies To William Shakespeare)

Shall I compare thee to a comic book?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough trends do shake the daring fans Wednesday,

And comics's lease hath all too late a date:

Sometime do not the guide of heaven lines,

And often is its cold collection skimmed;

And every con from con sometimes declines,

By chance, or market's changing course untrimmed;

But thy eternal comic shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that con thou owest;

Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade

When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

So long as fans can read, or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

"Batson Number Five"
To The Tune Of "Mambo Number Five" By Lou Bega

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Batson number five.
Verse 1

One, two, three, four, five, everybody in the dark so come on let's ride...
To the subway tunnel 'round the corner.
The boy says he wants some grim and news but he really don't wanna.
Near dust like I was last week.
I must stay deep 'cause talk is cheap.
I'm like Solomon, Hercules, Atlas and Zeus.
And as I continue, you know they're getting deus.
So what can I do? I really beg you Wizard.
To me trying is just like a sport.
Anything fly, it's all good left me one shock.
Please set it on the stone block.
Chorus

A little bit of Solomon in my life,
A little bit of Hercules by my side.
A little bit of Atlas what I need,
A little bit of Zeus is what I see.
A little bit of Achilles in the sun,
A little bit of Mercury all night long.
A little bit of Billy here I am
A little bit of you Wizard SHAZAM!
Batson number five.
Verse 2

I'm up and down and moving all around.
Shake my head to the sound, put my hands on the ground.
Take one step left and one step right.
One to the front and one to the side.
Thunder claps once and lightning flash twice
And if it look like this then I'm doing it right.
Chorus

A little bit of Solomon in my life,
A little bit of Hercules by my side.
A little bit of Atlas what I need,
A little bit of Zeus is what I see.
A little bit of Achilles in the sun,
A little bit of Mercury all night long.
A little bit of Billy here I am,
A little bit of you Wizard SHAZAM!
Bridge

Stone block, the stone block.
Batson number five, ha, ha, ha.
Chorus

A little bit of Solomon in my life,
A little bit of Hercules by my side.
A little bit of Atlas what I need,
A little bit of Zeus is what I see.
A little bit of Achilles in the sun,
A little bit of Mercury all night long.
A little bit of Billy here I am,
A little bit of you Wizard SHAZAM!
Outro

I do all to pal around with a world like you.
Cause you can't run and you can't hide.
You and me gonna touch the sky.
Batson number five.

"Slay"
To The Tune Of "Sway" By Norman Gimble, Pablo Rosas Ruiz

When the murder rhythms start to play
Wee Hughie, make me slay
Like the crazy Frenchman slugs the door
Hold me close, slay me more

Like the Female blending in the breeze
Blend with me, slay with ease
When we chance you have a way with me
Stay with me, slay with me

Billy Butcher may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the tragic technique
When we slay I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violence
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Slay me smooth, slay me now

Billy Butcher may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you

You know how
Slay me smooth, slay me now

"THE EDITOR OF MY DREAM" (WITH APOLOGIES TO WALLACE STEVENS)

2009-10-06T00:32:41Z

"The Editor Of My Dream"
(With Apologies To Wallace Stevens)

Call the writer of big re-starts,
The popular one, and bid them wit
In sudden drops copacetic words.
Let the wretches dawdle in such stress
As they are used to swear, and let the boys
Sling powers in last month's comic books.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only editor is the editor of my dream.

Take from the stresser of deal,
Lacking the three last jobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered three fan tales once
And spread it so as to cover her pace.
If her only feat protrude, they come
To show how bold she is, and some.
Let the champ affix their gleam.
The only editor is the editor of my dream.

"BANNER IN THE COUNTDOWN" TO THE TUNE OF "STRANDED IN THE JUNGLE" AS SUNG BY THE CADETS

2009-10-04T05:06:44Z

"Banner In The Countdown"
To The Tune Of "Stranded In The Jungle" As Sung By The Cadets

I dashed in the countdown
While tryin' to keep a date
With my little girl
Who was back at the base
I was stranded in the countdown
Afraid and alone
Tryin' to figure a way
To get a message back home
But how was I to know
That the wreckage of my place
Had been picked up and spotted
And my girl in Gamma Base
And meanwhile, back at the base...

Betty, Betty, let's have those plans
You know your ol' Bruce Banner hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the countdown flat as he can be
So come on pretty Betty just you and me
Meanwhile back in the countdown...

A boy named Rick Jones had me on the run
When something heavy hit me like a Gamma bomb
When I woke up and my head started to clear
I had a strange feelin' I was with Rick Jones here
I heard something tickin' and I looked to see
That's when I found out they was a Hulkin' me
Geiger Counter, let me outta here
Meanwhile back at the base...

Betty, Betty, let's have those plans
You know your ol' Bruce Banner hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the countdown flat as he can be
So come on pretty Betty just you and me
Meanwhile back in the countdown...

I jumped outta the shock and finally got away
Frantic and worried about what my Betty would say
So I jumped into notion and started to swim
But my chance of survival was gettin' mighty slim
So I smacked down a jeep that was in my way
And I reached the base in 'bout a half a day
And when I got to Gamma Base I was almost dead
When my soul was gone, here's what I said

Betty, Betty, Igor is no good
Betty, Betty, he should've understood
You can trust me as long as can be
So come back pretty Betty where you used to be

'Cause Hulk loves you, 'cause Hulk loves you
'Cause Hulk loves you

2009-09-06T06:58:19Z

Top Ten Signs You've Been Playing Too Much Batman: Arkham Asylum

10. Everything looks like it's in Detective Mode.

9. You grudgingly admit that coat hangers are not as effective as Batarangs.

8. Your neighbors are beginning to suspect just who has been leaving coat hangers on their lawn.

7. A cape looks great, but provides little to no actual gliding ability.

6. You wonder how far the Adam West Batman would get with his Shark-Repellent Bat-Spray.

5. If mashing buttons were a martial art, Batman would have no more rogues gallery.

4. You wish you had a utility belt instead of a utility belly.

3. You shriek in horror at a strange apparition, only to realize that you're looking at your
own reflection.

2. You wonder if longer Bat-Ears on a cowl are more of a drag factor than shorter ones.

1. No matter how hard you try, you'll never sound as cool as Kevin Conroy.

"BILLY THE BUTCHER" TO THE TUNE OF "GOODY TWO SHOES" AS SUNG BY ADAM ANT

"Billy The Butcher"
To The Tune Of "Goody Two Shoes" As Sung By Adam Ant

With the heartache open
So much you can't hide
Put on a little breakup breakup
Make sure they get your bad side bad side

If The Boys aren't broken
Get struck in your throat
Send some pressure poking poking
Smite it on a pound nose pound nose

CHORUS:
Billy The, Billy The, Billy The Butcher
Billy The, Billy The, Billy The Butcher
Don't think don't choke - what will he do?
Don't think don't choke - what will he do?
Someone that Wee Hughie follows
There must be something he's hiding

We don't swallow passion
That would be a joke
You know we're going to get them get them
So everyone can take note take note

When they saw you kneeling
Crying words that you're mean
Opening their eyeballs eyeballs
Pretending that you're Mob Scene Mob Scene

CHORUS:
Billy The, Billy The, Billy The Butcher
Billy The, Billy The, Billy The Butcher
Don't think don't choke - what will he do?
Don't think don't choke - what will he do?
Someone that Wee Hughie follows
There must be something he's hiding

No one's gonna tell me
What's wrong or what's right
Or tell me who to beat with weep with
Or that I've won the big fight big fight

Look out or they'll tell you
You're a "Superstar"
Two weeks and you're an all time legend
I think the games have gone much too far

If The Boys aren't broken
Get struck in your throat
Send some pressure token token
Smite it on a pound nose pound nose

Don't think don't choke - what will he do?
Don't think don't choke - what will he do?
(repeat)
Someone that Wee Hughie follows, must be something inside
