The Ballad of Captain Kleenex

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.
