This is my first fanfic so I would greatly appreciate both positive comments 
and constructive criticism. I love all your stories so much, I thought I 
might give writing a try myself. What would my English teacher think! 
(Actually, she thinks my Lois & Clark infatuation is cute. It adds to my 
"whimsical" personality.)

This poem is dedicated to my wonderful English teacher and friend, Mrs. 
Stanley and to Sabrina, who never fails to amaze me with all her obsessions. 
You are awesome!!!!!


Once upon a time
On a planet far, far away
An infant was born
Destined to fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way

The fate of his home, Krypton
His father could see quite clearly
So the child was sent to planet Earth
Because he was loved so dearly

He was placed upon a spaceship
Which traveled a great length
And discovered by a couple 
Who took notice of his amazing strength

The boy grew up and moved to the city
To become a news writer
But he did not forget he needed to use his abilities
To be an effective crime-fighter

He also wanted to lead a normal life
And because he was very wise
He came up the brilliant idea
To create some type of disguise

So, he arrived at the Daily Planet
With a pair of glasses on his face
In hope that, from the editor,
He would receive his first reporting case

The editor-in-chief paired him up
With a smart and sassy dame
Who went by the title
None other than that of Lois Lane

At first she paid no attention to him
Because she was only interested in the story
She was even reluctant to share a by-line
For she alone wanted all the glory

Although she ignored the reporter
She fell in love with the man who could fly
Not realizing that his true identity
Was covered up by a lie

After working with the mild-mannered reporter
She began to find his excuses quite lame
So she put two and two together
And discovered that he and the superhero were one and the same

Lois thought and thought
And decided to give up the superhero dream
Because she wanted to extend the Lane & Kent relationship
To more than that of a reporting team

She received the surprise of her life
When Clark began to kneel
And ask her an important question
To affirm his love was for real

She eventually answered with a "yes"
And not at all too late
For no matter how "super" one is
He cannot alter fate!

THE END (OR THE BEGINNING)
