THE MOMENT
"You're sick and tired?
Worn ragged? Haggard and battered?"
The Molten-Man sighed.
He nodded. "That's right."
The small man smiled.
"What keeps you busy?
Villains don't villain daily.
We don't have time to run wild."
"'Heroes never rest',
that's what the boss screams."
"Why not? Villains rest.
We take turns with our schemes."
"Is that right?" asked Molten-man.
"How's the health plan?"
"The best! You see,
if your plan succeeds
you can afford to be healthy.
BUT
If your plan fails,
you go to jail.
The State heals your ails."
