Caught between carriage doors

Someone called me a superhero

Yes, quite rightly so

Who would have believed those doors would have closed?

They nipped both my head and my toe

I was proud to have made it, in a fraction of a second

My audience impressed by my ability

But I heard a slam

as my feet became jammed,

my audience viewed my so-called agility

Stood by those carriage doors

I managed a pretentious smile

My head is now throbbing as my toe starts to swell

But at least I have suffered in style.


The next day brings a startling shock

As I board my early morning train

I see the same people as yesterday

They catch sight of my bandages and my ankle sprain.
