[ WP ] The death of a hero- due to their Sidekick 's mistake .

For ages now I ’ ve been awash with might, 
 My strength knows no bound. 
 I fend off evil for the noble cause of right, 
 And my feats always astound. 
 
 I ’ ve been called a hero, a champion for good 
 And given praise to meet no end. 
 I ’ ve laboured with honour to do as I should, 
 And all good persons count me their friend. 
 
 But I ’ ve found of late that my schedule is full, 
 So I took on a new helping hand. 
 He ’ s dumb as a brick, but tough as a bull, 
 So I make use of him wherever I can. 
 
 He helps me smash walls, and dodge bullets galore 
 Though he occasionally makes mistakes. 
 He has a tough constitution, can stomach much gore, 
 But he can sometimes be a real headache. 
 
 So tonight we set out to protect the innocent from harm 
 And I fear I am now meeting my end. 
 Things are now firmly in motion for us to both buy the farm, 
 All thanks to my new clumsy friend. 
 
 I said to be sneaky, and I said he must remain calm 
 As we entered my nemesis ’ lair. 
 But he made so much noise, and set off the alarm, 
 So now I am tightly bound to this chair. 
 
 My sidekick is now gone, tipped into the lava below 
 And I must await my turn patiently. 
 I suppose this is the end, my enemy ’ s smile aglow; 
 Never hire through an agency.
