This is really more prose than poetry, and so I will give you the longest title ever, also you should go listen to Galia Arad. She's hot. (Also Known As 'Five Man Band')

The Hero,
Just sort of standing there
Maybe a little bit lost
Maybe a little bit human
They're all so fragile
You think you find one with no humanity finally
And you can breathe a sigh of relief
Even if the whole idea's horrifying
What a break you were just cut
They'll never stop, can you see
Can you see
Can you see
Can you see
Can't you see
(This time, you think you've really found one)

The Lancer
Climbing trees
And bending backwards
For the kicks to be averted
For the giggles to not sound so forced
Afraid to high heaven to find the sea
Because Hero's just a bit overly fond of fish
So dear old Lancer wouldn't even know
What to do with one
(Let alone the mermaid standing right there)

The Smart Guy
Dressed out nicely
Pretending the hardest to be the comic relief
You can't see,
You really can't begin to hear
The beginning of the list
Say all of the right things
At just one beat off,
People think it's the charmingest,
(No kidding, kid)

The Girl
Because we gotta catch 'em all
And we all want a shot with her
She's pretty
She's nice
She's generally sane
She can kick some serious trash
And do we ever want her
Hey girl, come closer, why don't you
Medic, mother, nanny, lover
(Chances are slim, buddy, get in line)

The Tough Guy
With swooning little misses
And dark anti-hero appeal
Swaggering 'round in the darkness
You'll never find him
He's hidden so well
If you tried just a little bit harder
Perhaps he'll heel face turn,
But while we wait on the laughter
You'll work yourself down too hard
Don't try to catch him
He's such a child
Don't enable, he's perfectly stable
(He just wants the shine)
