Who Was That Masked Woman?

I unblock the vacuum cleaner
She prevents a North Sea oil spillage

I hang out the washing
She stops a runaway train

I do the weekly shopping
She frees a whale from shallow water

I make the children's school lunches
She holds up a broken bridge

I paint the kitchen ceiling
She diverts the lava flow

I iron the school shirts
She stops the landslide crushing the village

I attend the parent's night
She catches the falling cable car

I make a romantic dinner for two
She grimaces at the sound of her beeper
