Mr. Freeze takes Chicago

John SimmerlingJanuary 29, 20191 min read

With Mr. Freeze freezing buildings,
he wrapped us in ice
And all over Chi-Gotham
he fired his North Pole device,
At the crusaders he let loose;
a great jet of water

At Batman and Robin,
an icicle slaughter

It’s less than 15,
out at O’Hare
Said Skilling on GN,
in his long underwear
Hey Florida, Australia –
how can you play tennis?
When here in Chicago

We’re a North Pole apprentice…

I wrote this, during the last polar vortex. And guess who liked it?
