The Dynamic Duo

Young Robin’s not wearing his green tights tonight

Batman is in coveralls; not expecting a fight

The Commissioner is lying in sleep so sublime

The back alleys are crawling with criminal slime

The Ol’ Joker lurks about ready with witty humor

A giant explosion in Gotham would be a real boomer

He plots and he plans with all his henchmen in tow

To lure the Caped Crusader into a trap don’t you know?

Riddler is out there posing his ponderous query

But if you figure the answers, there’s no need for worry

He’ll leave his questionable clues all in places behind him

In the hope that the Dynamic Duo will soon find them

The Penguin is a waddler with a full criminal strain

All dressed in his tuxedo, top hat, and cane

He’ll quack like a duck when his feathers get a ruffle

He lives to tangle with the Duo in a crime scene scuffle

Two-Face tries but really can never hide his hideous face

Obsessed with erasing the Dynamic Duo from time and space

He plays his criminal intent with the passion of his obsessions

Posed at the ready to teach Batman & Robin a lesson

Alfred sounds the alarm; there is a Bat Phone emergency

The Bat Signal illuminates the sky signaling the urgency

Quick Robin! Grab you tights and get to the Bat Cave

Put on your crime fighter belt; we’ve got Gotham to save

The criminals are all out together in their full force intent

Telling the Commissioner that he must now relent

Gotham will be theirs and a home to the nature of crime

But wait! What of the Dynamic Duo this time?

The Bat-Mobile rounds the corner with tires a-squeal

Robin is riding shotgun and Batman is at the wheel

The Riddler has posed a query in the sky it still floats

Robin solves the mystery….quickly to the Bat Boat!

The Commissioner and The Chief, they are hostages both

Held by the likes of all these criminal sloth

It’s the Dynamic Duo once again to enter the fight

And save Gotham’s leaders on this criminal night

The thugs are holed up at the lighthouse by the shore

They are demanding a ransom; a million dollars or more

Hold back the money and the hostages are toast

Don’t doubt our words, we’re serious, they boast

The Bat Boat slinks to the shore in the dark

Robin eyeing the Bat Scope for a good place to park

The Duo lights on the docks quiet as a mouse

Then climb the Bat Ropes to the top of the lighthouse

Batman and Robin drop in unannounced from above

With fisticuffs flying, the criminals they shove

Whack! Blam! Zap! And some upper cuts with style

Soon all the criminals are heaped into a pile

The hostages are freed and the ransom is not paid

The Duo has undermined the plot that was laid

And Gotham City’s finest celebrate until daylight

As the Duo drives the Bat Car off into the night

Back at the cave, Alfred awaits their stealthy return

With cookies and milk, and butter freshly churned

The crime suits will be hung back up in the cave

Until the call comes again to run out and save

Robin has showered and laundered his tights

Batman turns in and bids all a good night

Alfred will lock the doors and off to bed he will go

Another magnificent night for the Dynamic Duo!
