My woe is begotten
My memories are forgotten
My music is catholic
My holidays are not
My suit is cheap because the tailors working in sweatshops in the far-east get a pittance
My pizza l do not eat pizza
My asthma is genetic
My brilliance is wasted
My time is also wasted
My sexual preferences are not your concern

My criminal record is the stuff of legend
My tendency to exaggerate is problematic
My patience is wearing
My future is behind a locked door

Stu I think repetition
is a literal thrill.
I was at school

Thank you Stu for
your pointed lean against a shoulder

Martin you please me
with your generous
comments of the verse.
But your choice
of particular lines
makes me warm in
its recognition.

But Brian that is its 'its'.
And I know that you will
shiver with recognition
because of your poignant
humour.

Absolutely brilliant Tommy. I love the repetitive use of my to start each line.
I particularly love the lines around criminal record and exaggeration
Nice one mate
