Flash vs Yellow Jacks
A book judged by it's cover
So it was with Gordon's brother
Flash his common moniker
Reputedly a savage monster
Imposing boulder of brawn
To add effect, hair worn shorn
Avoided Flash like the plague
Feared incurring his vaunted rage
The August contest Color War
Teamed me with this wild boar
Sought exit through a backdoor
Expected I would not survive the tour
Quickly relieved of despair
Discovered Flash was a gentle bear
Deferential, respectful, warm, and kind
Rumors pinned on him were lies
Herein, before forming an opinion
I'd first like to meet the guy
The game required us to hide
Flash volunteered forward guide
Halfway down the crater
Carved by a glacier
Heard somebody falter
Don't know who jarred the hornet's nest
But Flash took the hit for us
Swatted the swarm
Ordered all get gone
Raced for shelter over the diamond
Flash served as guardian
Protected our ad hoc clan
Stingers stung his legs and hands
In the casino, where it would end
They plucked needles so he'd mend
Flash laughed, recovered his command
Revealed a man among men
The currents of time scatter people to the wind
From that moment on, never saw Flash again
He resides in my yesterday
Not a villain, but a friend
