DC Marvels

Batman should have stopped this thing.
I’m sure he heard the rumors.
He could have put on his bat ring.
I’ve heard that cured some tumors.
And Superman, those x-ray eyes,
did they not see Wuhan?
His explanation, no surprise,
he’d just gone to the john.
The Flash could have been way out front
and stopped contamination.
But he was busy making cards
for his kids’ education.
While Spiderman was mending webs
and texting Mary Jane,
he could have protected New York.
I mean, it’s just insane.
And where was Hulk, the big green jock?
He’s spent some time in labs.
No, he was working ’round the clock
on building up his abs.
Seems Wonder Woman could have been
the world’s heroic nurse.
But now she’ll use her see-through plane
as temporary hearse.
If we can’t trust our super heroes
to defeat mere germs,
we’ve got to change some ones and zeroes,
rearrange their terms.
