Limerick Review: The Flash S1E12, Crazy For You


A woman gets teleport skills,
And pulls off heists to pay her bills.
But in quite a short time,
She gets organized crime
Looking to make bank from those tills.

The Flash is tasked to bring her in,
Though her boyfriend's the source of her sin.
So the show's running theme
Is love getting extreme,
For her woes and Barry's are twin.

So Barry and Caitlin bemoan
How they're each still hung up on their own
Former paramour,
Though it's so immature
That they both must know that bird has flown.

But while Barry just seeks safer harbor,
Caitlin must tend to her own arbor.
It's so hard to go on
When your boyfriend has gone
And combined bodies with Victor Garber.

They head out for vodka and ice
At a dive the bads hit once or twice.
And though I shouldn't gloat,
One just can't help but note
That the "dive" looks suspiciously nice.

While we follow the city's protector,
Cisco is off playing inspector.
And Hartley's quite willing
To go about filling
The role of a Hannibal Lecter.

Cisco lets him out of his cell
In hopes he'll surrender intel.
And though he gets a tip,
Hartley gives him the slip,
So the whole thing does not pass off well.

Now, Linda Park's our latest guest.
But I'm left somewhat under-impressed
That the show ushered in
Not one, but two women,
And yet barely passed the Bechdel Test.

It's a decent enough episode,
But it seems reluctant to unload.
It should move us ahead,
But it stands still instead,
And we're no further down that road.

I should also note, 'ere we go,
That just at the end of the show,
We get our first glimpse
At the king of the chimps,
Grodd, Flash's simian foe.
