b132 (3.15-1.2026): mayfly-man

mayfly-man [i]
by a. male mayfly
i have always loved and favored the underdog.
this thoem is sung to the tune of the theme song for the 1960-70s cartoon:
‘underdog’
this thoem will be moved to march, 2026 and b132: who are wIe, as men?
 
speed of lightning, roar of thunder*
one track mind (the over/under)
mayfly-man (do-do-do-do-do) 
mayfly-man, mayfly-man!
________________________________
 
·       the mayfly-man is not so much a super-hero as a ball of testosterone, doing one-track-minded, testosteronic things.
 
·       he’s not mature enough to contemplate his Be-ing, so he focuses on his do-do-doing.
 
the ‘over/under’ reference is a gambling reference, as the mayfly man will risk anything… to do-do-do.

*this was actually one of the verses in the intro of ‘underdog’. see the video, below:
 
 



maybe he saw the future. his line (prior to fighting crime) was:
"...and in this little ring i fill, with an underdog super-energy pill"

  1. my heart has always gone out to the underdogs (in life). in college, my frat brothers used to call me "the rehabilitatuhh" because of my tendency to protect the weak & meek. go underdogs!
