It's National Poetry Day

today, and the theme is Heroes and Heroines. I've just dashed off this little contribution; with all the necessary apologies:


Herogram
(With apologies to Wendy Cope)

Who needs heroes anyway?
They’re never around when you want.
Gallivanting to battlefields far away;
who needs heroes anyway?
There’s always another dragon to slay,
as they suit up for another jaunt.
Who needs heroes anyway?
They’re never around when you want.
