Heroes
Although their chances for triumph were slim
Debbie and David and Gertrude and Tim
Set off on their journey with vigor and vim
Across jungles and forests and deserts and seas
Past lions and tigers and dragons and bees
In speedboats, on horses, in planes and on skis
The four were compelled on their eminent quest
To a kingdom of various trials and tests
Through a mystical closet of sweaters and vests
They scuffled with demons and monsters and fiends
And werewolves and vampires and wicked old queens
And goblins and ogres and evil machines
They struggled for decades and centuries and more
They won all their battles and settled old scores
With praises and plaudits and triumphs galore
Our heroes retired, folklore’s great winners
They pardoned the saints and punished the sinners
And still made it back to their families by dinner
