Superman

So I walked into a bar one day and noticed a fair-sized crowd gathered round the pool table. I went over to investigate and nearly fell over seeing Superman doing trick shots for nickel beer. “What are you doing, man?” I said.

Superman looked at me and said, “I’m shooting pool and making folks happy.”

“But you’re so much better than this.”

Superman looked around. “My fans love me. Look how they cheer when I sink a ball.”

“These folks would cheer grass growing, dude.”

Superman fell silent, seemingly debating whether to toss me out.

“Come on big guy,” I said. “Let’s go realign the planets or save Timmy from the well.”

About Author Richard P. Nixon

Fled Libya in wake of '67 Six Day War. "Uncle Mo" eventually seized power - two years later on my birthday. Grew up mostly American, with some "old world" quirks. Have been writing since around 1994, but didn't really start writing until 2008. Between 1976 and 1983 spent my time between boarding school (Ireland, Northern Ireland and England) and Alaska (until 1978) and then Saudi Arabia. Came back to the States in '83 and have been in Arizona since '95. Have a nice day. ;)
