Spidey (in a didey)

Spidey in a didey
feeling high and mighty
yet a shadow of his former self.
web slinging superhero
with accuracy of zero
charm excuses aged lack of stealth.

If photography don't pay the bills
he can crouch on people's window sills.
He got himself a home health aid
at $20.95 an hour.
Someone to help him shave,
someone to give him a shower.

Now Spidey in a didey
feeling fresh and tidy
tries to join the fray.
Villains laugh and tease him
they know he cannot seize them
so easily they run away.

He sneaks around his filthy house
and tries to reach inside the blouse
of the teenage Mexican maid
(who gets $6.95 an hour)
someone for him to shave
someone for him to deflower.
