After years of leaving webs all over buildings, Spiderman was finally caught and sentenced to community service cleaning them off.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
Wealth and fame
He’s ignored
Clean roofs are his reward.
To him, life is a great big buff up
Wherever there’s a tough crud build-up
You’ll find the Spider-Man.

Well, it is time to give the results! I have been vacillating between two entries; both are great… But I had to take a decision! So, here it is:
Bonum\_Legatum is the runner-up, with this delightful entry:
> After years of leaving webs all over buildings, Spiderman was finally caught and sentenced to community service cleaning them off.
But the winner in the end is **Lumpy** , who managed to stick an earworm into my brain that has not yet gone away:
> Spider-Man, Spider-Man
> Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
> Wealth and fame
> He’s ignored
> Clean roofs are his reward.
> To him, life is a great big buff up
> Wherever there’s a tough crud build-up
> You’ll find the Spider-Man.
Take it away, **Lumpy**! 🙂
