TTTO The Ballad of Jayne Cobb by Ben Edlund


Thor!
The god they call Thor!

He flies through the air with his hammer in hand;
Against all the forces of darkness he'll stand.
With each passing day we just love him more--
The hero of Asgard, the god they call Thor.

Now Thor saw that Loki was plottin';
He heard the trickster god scheme;
And he knew that the land would turn rotten
If Loki achieved all his dream.
Thor said "You can't do that to my Norsemen--
Can't turn their farms into ash."
So with thunder all around Thor knocked Loki down
And threw him a big Mjollnir bash.

He flies through the air with his hammer in hand;
Against all the forces of darkness he'll stand.
With each passing day we just love him more--
The hero of Asgard, the god they call Thor.

Now Thor came to live as a mortal,
With common folk like you and me.
He took on mortal pain, and he walked with a cane,
And his godhood nobody could see.
But then Loki threatened Midgard;
Thor let his true self be known.
He thwarted Loki's plan, and he took him in hand
And hauled him before Odin's throne.

He flies through the air with his hammer in hand;
Against all the forces of darkness he'll stand.
With each passing day we just love him more--
The hero of Asgard, the god they call Thor!
