Years and years and years ago, a pal of mine wrote this poem, and he stuck a few words about me at the start of it.

He'd get up in pubs and recite it with a wicked sparkle in his eye and I'd pretend he wasn't talking about me and he'd pretend he didn't know I hated it and it would be over and I'd silently hope I never heard it again.

Then a few years later his band turned it into a song and so every time I went to see the band play we'd have the same thing and mostly I'd make excuses or try to miss that part of the set. It was all a big game.

Then they got some studio time and last week they bloody turned it into a video. And finally I think I'm over taking it as a personal affront because it was never all about me, just this character in a story, and it's kinda grown on me over time.

It's on Youtube now.

Shane, thanks for pushing the button over and over and over until I finally got over myself!
