An Ode To My Ego
 
 
Background 
I was born in the village of Bleugh! 
in the country of Coochee Coo, 
on the far away planet of Tharg.
 
Of course, my background's a secret; 
I keep it by telling the truth, 
there's no one who ever believes me---
 
see, you don't, do you…?
 
 
Self-Description 
I'm a techie, 
newsaholic,
 
beer-swilling beer-gutted, 
Citroën loving, 
photographing, 
piss-poor pub-quizzing,
 
Red Guide applauding, 
science consuming, 
contemporary classical (and hardcore) adoring,
 
a Buddhist-ish, 
occasionally entrepreneurial 
fenlander.
 
For now.
 
 
Hobbies 
Flushing baby reptiles down the loo. 
Running the "Fenland Bayou Crocodile Tour" company. 
Placing long-term bets that a local bog-snorkeler will be eaten by an
alligator. 
  
 
Appearance 
Some people dress submitting to style, 
some people dress expressing their guile, 
but me, I get dressed so not to get wet. 
Some people buy 'til sated, they drop, 
some people buy mass-marketed slop, 
but me, I nick things from charity bins. 
Some people hide in everyone's sight, 
some people give excitement to light, 
but me, I've panache of a motorway crash. 
 
Profession 
Yes please.
 
 
Marital Status 
Thargettes rarely visit the Earth, 
they don't have the necessary sense of insanity.
 
So I'm only a lonely Thargoid, 
subverting my angst with too many tanks 
of ale.
 
 
Any other comments 
Which of these deceptions do I believe?
