The Super Stuff

To be mighty .super-man is no
desire OF mine; would not lead
the caravan or with Napoleons
shine: | follow up a normal plan,
and think the journey fine. mingle
with the workday crowds and talk
OF fddlestrings, nor miss the glory
that enshrouds the man whose mind
has wings: my head is not among
the clouds, but close to mundane
things. The super-man is short of
friends, he's summed by common
gents; along weary trail he
wends. he rests in lonely tents, and
no one borrows coin or lends the
great man 50 cents. The delegates
who stand and talk of l0-cent town
affairs till midnight by the village
clack. grow dumb as Belgian hares
when Super-man comes up the walk
their CAB he never shares. The
old wives gossip at the gate, they
gossip while they knit. they strive
each may make hit; but when ap-
pears the Super-skate they furl their
tongues and quit The children play
upon the green such games as they
adore: they're happy as | was, |
wcen. in golden days OF yore; but
when the super-man is seen they
wilt and play no more. The super
guy kicks up noise in realms
where savauts be, but he's remote
from all the joys that comfort you
and me; he'd give lot if girls and
boys would let him share their glee.
