Ring a Ding Ding
Ode to the Green Lantern
POWER THROBS from my right middle finger
A ring given to me by a dying vermillion alien
I would've chucked it, but he made me swear
No evil shall escape my sight, et cetera.
Though what can I honestly do about the recession —
Make more green?
Carol of course loves the tights
When I wear the domino mask she growls
then I create a giant emerald mattress
I am limited only by my willpower
— Carol nibbles on my nine unbound fingers —
And I have lots of willpower
Ah here's Green Arrow with more gimlets
I tell him if marriage were a color, it'd be yellow
