Poetic Bloomings prompt If I Had a Super Cape

If I Had a Super Cape

Hey, if I had a super cape

Like a bird, I’d be free

I’d sail away to Mozambique

And I’d be home by tea 

I’d stomp grand grapes in Sicily

I’d see the Louvre in France

I’d twirl with whirling dervishes

And with “where’s Matt” I’d dance

 But with a cape I couldn’t go

One moment back in time
To dine with lords and ladies fair
In castles on the Rhine

Neither could I see future worlds

Or meet strange aliens
Or skip along with Dorothy
And greet her three odd friends

I couldn’t eat cheese with Heidi

Meet Fagin and his crooks
And so forget the super cape
I’d rather have my books
