Phil,

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locamotive, able to leap
tall buildings in a single bound.
Look, up in the sky!  It's a bird!  It's a Plane! No, it's Superman.

Yes, it's Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steal
in his bare hands, and who, disguised as clark Kent, a mild-mannered
reporter for a daily metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle
for truth, Justice, and the American way.

It's pretty close to that.  I remember it so well because i wrote a parody
on this about one of my ninth-grade teachers.  Of course, it was in Braille,
and he never got a copy, LOL>
