The Ballad of Captain Kleenex
A figure made of moisture, bright and white,
He burst from the Vortex, demanding things be right.
From the Sanitary Empire his mission was clear:
To conquer the cosmos with zero smear.
*
“I am Captain Kleenex!” he cried in the hall,
“Before my disinfected wrath, ye shall all fall!
My throne is of tissue, my helmet of gauze,
I crush temporal dirt with meticulous laws!”
*
But the Time Lord in scarves, with his manic grin wide,
Saw the flaw in the fabric where Kleenex did hide.
For a villain so clean, so precise, and so quaint,
Met his end in the place that his nature did taint.
*
He boasted, “My paper is quilted! You’ll lose!”
Poo simply said, “Then prepare to refuse
The flow of the ages, the Chrono-U-Bend!”
And flushed the whole battle right down to the end.
*
Now just a wet memory, a blip in the drain,
The Captain’s pure spirit will rise up again…
Perhaps in the pipes, or the future’s soft cloths,
To fight the good fight against temporal moths.
