Tonight's Poet Corner: Viper Victor

Viper Victor
by Belinda Roddie

Viper Victor was equipped with
super techni-hyped up gadgets,
each designed to make his recent
villain status somewhat decent.

At his side was Rob, his geeky
henchman who failed hard at sneaky,
stealthy, crafty, cunning, sly,
and all the things between. He'd try

to make an advanced souped up mobile
that would polish Viper's toenails.
Blueprints fleshed in binder paper,
so he lived, the gizmo-maker.

But Viper Victor would not cower
to the heroes by the hour:
Metal Mouth did not scare him, nor
Ultra Bad Boy impaired him, or
he'd simply be a brand new sissy
in the motley evil posse.

True, he was no Whedon offspring,
or a tune that Moffat would sing,
but Viper Victor was quick
and able, cruel and stable, slick and

awesome. Now, Rob, put this on the
fridge with colored magnet stars!
