back in my younger days. The scientists
fused to my back the arms of octopi,
and gave me a gorilla's arms and fists.
For watchfulness while in the field, my eyes
were deemed too weak, so half a dozen more
were grafted on--eagles' and dragonflies'.
For fearsomeness, a lion's teeth and roar.
I'd rustle gangsters, sting spies with my tail,
and cripple crooked cops, given the chance.
Those were the days! You should have seen them wail
in terror, drop their loot and shit their pants!
Now I'm retired, and glory days are done.
Except for Halloween--that's always fun.
