Fantastic Friends

The Incredible Hulk came to tea.

Robin was with him too,

Batman stayed at home that night

Because his bat had the flu.

Superman called to say hello

and Spiderman spun us a joke.

The Human Torch was supposed to come

But he went up in smoke.

The Invisible man might have called,

but as I wasn’t sure,

I left  an empty chair and bun

beside the kitchen door.

They signed my autograph book.

but I dropped it in the fire.

Now whenever I tell my friends

they say I’m a terrible liar.

The incredible people do call round

(‘specially when I’m alone)

and if they don’t, and I get bored,

I call them in the phone.
