I want to thank our readers for indulging our wild ideas and different formats for our God Among Geeks and Neekology 101 pieces. Today we have a poetic retelling of a moment from the recent Marvel blockbuster, Infinity Wars. Here we are unwillingly rocketed into space onboard one of Thanos’ Black Order ships. Tony Start and Peter Parker form a crazy plan to save Dr. Strange and the time stone from certain disaster.
Mr. Stark, Mr. Stark, I have an idea.
What’s that Mr. Parker?
We don’t have much time
And danger is drawing nearer.
Remember that movie
With aliens in space?
Mr. Parker, please,
We are looking danger
In the face.
Mr. Stark, I think my idea
Will fly. We need to work
Together or Dr. Strange’s
Time will die.
You and your pop-culture
References, Peter.
Really? Right now?
It worked with taking
Ant-man, didn’t it?
Like taking down
An Imperial Walker
KAPOW!
Oh, boy, kids today…
Please Mr. Stark,
There is no other way.
Movies are one thing, kid,
This is real life and death.
The Doctor’s a human
Pin cushion, drawing
His last breathe.
Trust me with my crazy ideas,
Mr. Stark.
Even if it feels like a stab
In the dark.
You made me an Avenger
For a good reason
Heroes are heroes
In and out of season.
Please tell me
You aren’t going
All Dr. Seussish right now
And bringing me in
With your…whole
Rhyming…thing…wow!
I’m just in the moment
That’s how my brain thinks.
Sorry if…my silly, crazy, pop-culture idea
Kind of stinks.
Okay, kid, okay.
Every hero has
Their own style,
And fights their fight
In their own way.
Start spinning…your webs,
Go save the day.
Thanks, Mr. Stark
For trying my
Crazy scenario.
Now, are you ready…
Not really, but,
We can give it go.
Okay, whew,
Here we go.
