Oh Superman
Many years ago I went sailing with my sister during a memorably hot summer
We would wake up early so that we could witness Superman flying across the sky
If he did not appear then we would have a light breakfast before swimming in the turquoise bay
Oh Superman
One of my school teachers was named Mrs Nude
She was in the habit of hugging trees
Many thought that she was a hippy
But I considered her to be quite straight laced
Towards the end of a memorable summer
She was killed by a falling branch
My grief was so great at the time
That I wrote to Superman
Oh Superman
My wife and I went to Greece last year
It was a memorable summer with temperatures
Hovering in the late thirties
For some reason my wife wore the same pale blue dress
When I asked her why she noted that it was Superman’s favourite colour
