How do you say “escape” in Slovenia?

Twas mild mannered Jonathan and his good wife, Martha Kent
Found the rocket from planet Krypton with the toddler Jor-El sent
To help protect mankind, they raised son Clark with super powers
But a fraud stole his identity, squirrel-haired guy from Trump Towers

But karma being karma, Lex Luther’s now Bob Mueller
To an orange-ish, schizo-paranoid, “Lex” has krypton-green skin color
Slovenia-born Melania asks, “Kaan ve maga clean hescape?”
From the laundry, brainy Eric screams, “Done washing Dad’s new cape!”

++ Inspired by Tamyka Bell’s One-line poem prompt, “Escape” ++
