quatrains people

First off...thanks David Swan for the choice of Mr. A as a potent theme for comic characters and thought provocations...I'm happy the "eyes" allowed the theme to progress without altercation. Here the first and last quatrains are about Mr. A...the two middle ones are just comic horror.

Is life Black and White or the color Grey?

Mr. A believes there is no Grey in Living.

Perhaps if Evolution weren't true,

Mr. A wouldn't be so blue.

Mr. Thomas created me, but Ploog was my master;

A hairy violent Lycanthrope disaster.

I fought monster Frank and the Vampire too,

But now they only care about my fight with the Moon.

There was a blood-soaked hair-clipper in his bathroom.

It must have taken hours to cut his flesh to this point of doom.

His life was normal, but all this blood...I guess he's dead.

"I didn't get the right hair-cut," his last note read.

Rorschach is Mr. A's recreation,

With the same vigilante reaction.

With a shifting ink-blot mask confusion,

Moore shows Ditko's insane profusion.
