I wish I could say I got the idea specifcally from watching a child at play (it was a TV commercial), but is there a little boy alive (no matter what his age) who hasn't donned bath towel and swim goggles to defend the universe from evil?
lol. This is great. This poem was inspired from that pullups commerical, isn't it? I've toyed with writing a superhero story but didn't want to get busted for copyright infringement. This is cute and makes me feel like a kid.

Yes Steven, it does bring back so many memories and what child hasn't flown a towel as his banner, and fought the universe by him/herself. Very nice poem. And Steven. Trixie is in my soul. I just can't let her go.
