Captain Elegant
Mike Berger, PhD
Captain Elegant was a superhero, but
he was no Superman. He had just 20/200
vision; myopic to say the least. As for
jumping, he was a box of rocks. He
couldn’t fly because his pilot’s license
had been revoked.
For all of that, he was elegant in his
snow white uniform. How he hated to
get dirty. He had only one flaw—his
nose. His girlfriend, Doris Lank, claimed
you could use it for a ski jump.
The Captain’s favorite thing to do was
rescue damsels in distress. He would
carefully watch for a rogue trying to
seduce a fair young maiden. He would
ride in like the cavalry and stop the
dastardly deed.
After year of dashing desperados
and their dirty deeds, he was force
to retire, Fighting heinous villains is
dirty work. When prices skyrocketed,
he couldn’t keep up his staggering
dry cleaning..
