Got a superhero’s leg, its owner wasn’t amused …
Got a politician’s brain, it’s fresh ’cause it’s never been used …
Got a Navy pilot’s eyes, got a good prizefighter’s hands …
There’s just one more part I need, just one thing that my corpus demands!
I need an elbow!
I’m looking out for the joint between my shoulder and wrist!
On which I can depend,
That can flex and extend,
That won’t wobble or buckle or twist;
I need an elbow!
A good reliable elbow’s at the top of my list!
I can use it for nudgin’
Or even to bludgeon
A foe when I’ve worn out my fist;
Worn out my fist …
This was one of my personal favorite filks …

Ha! I can understand why this is a fav…
So the recruiter dude wasn’t done with that leg yet? There are nice prosthetics around nowadays.
Wow, a reference to AG-I this far back… you guys really plan ahead.
