In the early years, Captain America kept his shield in a box and costume in a red bag until they were needed. Ironically he figured out this looked kind of weird.
I don’t think I’ve ever gone away on vacation without at least a half dozen books in my suitcase. Now I can carry several hundred e-books on my Chromebook & never have to worry about being stuck somewhere without something to read (to say nothing of it being a whole lot easier on my creaky back & shoulders)!

/// He’s an activist, keen to attack
every con artist, sell-out and hack.
He walks miles, town to town
hoping to win renown
with his soapbox strapped tight on his back.

The old Volga Boatman, long since retired,
Remembered the years he daily perspired
And trudged along the muddy canal banks
Moving a barge with muscular pulls and yanks
Singing sad songs with a mournful tone
At least he did not have to struggle alone —
Along with a gang of hardworking men
He worked in camaraderie back then —
Unlike this job, that he needed to take
In order for all basic needs to make:
Carrying bricks day after day in a hod,
At least it’s a steady job, thank God!
