THWACK! ZAP! SPLAAT! WHAP!
Batman’s moonlit fight
OWW! ZIP! OUCH! RIP!
He’s stuck inside his tights

KLUNK! ZONK! THUNK! KLONK!
Batman’s nightly drama
UGGH! CRAAAK! PLOP! WHACK!
To put on his pyjamas

ARGH! YOW! EEK! POW!
Batman takes a stumble
THUD! BANG! AWK! CLANG
He wobbles, trips and tumbles

WAH! GAH! BOO! HOO!
“Why’s my bedtime cursed?”
BIFF! WHAM! BLOOP! BAM!
JUST TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF FIRST !!!
