I longed to be you, Nancy Drew

[just mercedes]

Nancy Drew, Nancy Drew
I always admired you
for making sure that the Government’s plans
stayed out of the spies and agents’ hands
and the double agents, too.
 
You had a boyfriend or two
Nancy Drew, Nancy Drew
but some had sinister thoughts in mind.
If his kiss was of the open-mouthed kind
you very quickly withdrew.
 
The Fascists, the Nazis too
were always after you
Nancy Drew. Each time you’d find
the clues and blueprints they left behind
but they still captured you.
 
You were so modern too
with radio in your shoe.
Murder left you subdued.
Your Mom and Dad couldn’t know, Nancy Drew,
all that you’d been through.
 
The bravest spy was you
and the prettiest, too.
So sensitive, caring,
brave, bold and daring;
I longed to be you, Nancy Drew.

Ah, a find! But all this talk of fascists made me search, and look at what I found: http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-life-and...nancy-drew

Although really, this was what I thought of (I grew up somewhat surrounded by these titles, too, my sister read plenty, but I blocked those out of my mind, not wanting to feel something close to nostalgia for objects I never cared about in the first place, my prime interests then being mythology and dinosaurs):

Though considering all of the above, at least with the humor stripped, I can't help but feel that this poem has more sinister notes....

I loved comics and have written a few; about Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Spiderman, as well. May do more, though I'm not sure I could keep up with Superman.

Maybe Roger Ramjet next. Hero of our nation.

Mighty Mouse is cool!
