Roger McGough | Nov 1937 | English
G-d bless all policemen
And fighters of crime
May thieves go to jail
For a very long time.
They’ve had a hard day
Helping clean up the town,
Now they hang from the mantlepiece
Both upside down.
A glass of warm blood
And then straight up the stairs,
Batman and Robin
Are saying their prayers.
They’ve locked all the doors
And they’ve put out the bat,
Put on their batjamas
(They like doing that.)
They’ve filled their batwater-bottles
Made their batbeds,
With two springy battresses
For sleepy batheads.
They’re closing red eyes
And they’re counting black sheep,
Batman and Robin
Are falling asleep.
