Analysis of Honorificabilitudinitatibus



I was born on a Tuesday,
rain accompanied my screams,
if I could actually remember the moment
then I probably would still be
scratching the air - some say I am!
In nineteen sixty five I blinked,
and ever since then these eyes
have been as wild as time.

I've battered words and alcohol,
twisted love into complacency,
but still, for all the insanity,
people like me, and that makes me smile,
but there are too some that challenge,
and I welcome them, run if you must,
I shall snarl, or I might surprise you
and do something unexpected.
It was seven minutes past the hour
when I was given the gift of life again,
I wanted to stay in, but God said - No!
