Iron Man’s Gone Rusty PDF Print E-mail

Iron Man slept out in the rain

He’s gone all stiff and rusty

His repulsor rays worked yesterday

But now are bent and busted

 

You’d better fetch an oil can fast

Crime-fighting could be in his past

Will this adventure be his last?

Iron Man’s gone rusty

 

Iron Man’s gone kinda stiff

His jaws too tight for talking

The grating sound you hear around’s

The noise he makes when walking

 

He’s starting to squeak

He’s starting to creak

From superhero to super freak

Iron Man’s gone rusty

 

He’s corroded, oxidised

He doesn’t look too clever

The shower neutralised his power

Defeated by bad weather

 

He’s bright orange (though once was red)

If only he wore a plastic costume instead

The newspaper headline I saw said

“Iron Man’s gone Rusty”

 

No longer invincible

He’s rooted to the spot

No longer indestructible

He now decays and rots

His super suit instructions state “avoid water”…but he forgot

So Iron Man’s gone rusty

 

Yes Iron Man’s

Like an old tin can

While his deadly enemies plot and plan

He’s turned the colour of fake sun tan

Iron Man’s gone rusty
