Met him in a comic shop,

Amongst the bags and boards,

Promptly got into an argument,

Subject matter: Axes Versus Swords,

Weapons led to RPGs, and comics on from there

We debated an hour at least,

Topics ranged from Lady Death,

To Brainiac and Beast,

"Superman is better."

"I disagree", said I,

"Batman could kick Soupy's ass.

And he can't even fly!"

The owner kept pointing at the clock,

Saying he needed to close,

But then he insulted Captain Kirk,

And I punched him in the nose,

He recoiled of course,

And said I had a mean right hook,

I thanked him for the compliment,

Then added "I can also cook!"

He asked me for my number,

And on a scrap of reciept it I did place,

But I wondered why the hell he'd want to date,

A girl who punched him in the face,

Before we parted ways outside the shop,

He asked if I played D&D,

And I replied "I do."

And that's when he blurted, "Will you marry me?"
