The Couch Potato Superhero

Annie was a sweetie pie,
Living her life
In hopes
to find no strife

She loved
With a heart as good as gold
As we all should.
(Though she was a little bold)

Others saw
Her simple ways,
"A couch potato
Is how she spends her days"


Friends are hard to find for her
harder still to keep
A couch potato's pool
is not exactly deep.


But she was more,
than meets the eyes,
More than her and her TV.
She was a super hero in disguise.


Look and you will find
A giant S
written on her
Chest.


Light the signal,
Let it fill the sky.
When you're in need
She is by your side.

When you need her
She is there
Ready and able.
Few others can compare.

A slayer. A shoulder, a jester too
A mirror and a punching bag.
Gatekeeper, Mentor,
Although there is one snag.

When the need
is no longer there
It may seem as if
She does not care

For she goes back to her
Couch Potato's ways
Just as swift
As in her superhero days
