A mushroom cloud was coming, but Harley didn't care Her own self preservation didn't matter any more All she wanted now was to win the Gotham War Then the Big Red 'S' arrived and with a flourish of his cape Announced, 'It's over Harley. You must know there's no escape' She casually approached him, quite suspiciously And said, 'Escape is not my plan. Here, hold this for me!' With that she threw towards him something coloured sickly green Kryptonite! This was something that nobody had foreseen Superman could feel himself getting weaker by the minute He'd only joined the war as he was sure that he could win it Instead he sat and marvelled at just how he had been beat Gotham's going skywards and he had a ringside seat...
Harley held the detonator in her dainty hand She made the rules, they looked like fools, just as she had planned With nothing else to say and sure there wouldn't be a glitch Harley's index finger hovered over the kill switch She was ready for this moment, Gotham would be her tomb She pressed down on the button, and the city went....
...pretty quiet actually.
She flew into a rage. What the hell was this? The end just hadn't happened. Was someone taking the piss? Stepping from the shadows came a man all dressed in black With cowl and cape a flutter, yes folks the Batman's back! Harley spluttered, 'How the hell did you survive that fall? I thought I'd finally killed you, but you're not dead at all!' 'Harley keep your hair on, don't pull it by the roots Haven't you ever heard of Bat Anti-Gravity boots? Then I hid myself away so I could learn more of your plan It was just a stroke of luck that you called in Superman For he has a thing of mine, it's called a BatRadio So he radioed ahead and he told me where to go For with his X-ray vision a bomb's a cinch to find And I disarmed it. Detonator please, if you don't mind' Harley screamed a scream that was piercing to the ear How could she finish last when she'd gotten oh so near Batman then approached her, and taking off her jesters hat KAPOW! ZONK! KA-BLAM! 'Thats quite enough of that..' So with Gotham City saved and the Kryptonite removed HarleyQuinn's in prison and there's one thing this story proved That if you turn your hand to crime, be you Riddler, Cat or clown There is no easy way to keep a superhero down!
The End...
...or is it?
For deep within the Batcave, it seemed a worm had turned He was sick of red and yellow, and in his head a plot was burned 'I'm tired of playing sidekick to a man dressed as a bat He gets the girls, the glory. I want some of that!' Bat Turbines to power, Bat Engines to speed The Batmobile was atomic, and therein lay the seed He wired up the motor to the mains supply More than enough juice to make the Batcave blow sky high But he'd wired it up all wrong, the BatReactors went quite mad It's why Batman did the thinking if this is all that Robin had Shouting holy this and that, he filled his tights and fled the room And that really is The End, as Gotham City went KA-BOOM!
