So grim!!
What could possibly be the matter?
What could make you frown like that?
Your eyes are so dark, so contemplative
So very deep in thought, too deep in thought
You're missing all the fun!!
Loosen up, tight-ass!! Let's paint the town red!!
My pointy-eared friend, waging his one-man, casualty-free, holy war on crime
You're the hero, I'm the bad guy
but you're on your way here to beat me to a pulp
So, who's the hero again?
If you think I'm just a madman, then the jokes on you!
I'm no villain, no mere clown
I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curve
So much more than just a freak!!
I'm the one who's REALLY gonna save this town!!
CHAOS!!
Without chaos, things get so...
BORING!
People need chaos to survive
Without it, people will die...with or without my help...
This city deserves to have a guy like me stroll right in and upset their established order...
And far be it from me to deny someone what they really deserve!
It doesn't take much to inspire my brand of anarchy
The toss of a coin
An air made of fear
Maybe even just a SMILE here or there!!!
So come on, Batsy!!
Let's put a smile on that face!
But, before we begin, I've been meaning to ask...
WHY SO SERIOUS?
This is a piece I wrote yesterday specifically for entry into a poetry slam contest. Reading it doesn't make it seem like much, but if I read it to you (which is what I did yesterday), you'd really get the funny side (get it?)...

I came in second place in the contest. This was really to try and get the Joker out of my system...

It didn't work.

I feel fine!
