To my childhood self
They had you pegged as being a bit ‘Tim, nice but dim’
but look what you had to work with;,
A 1950’s curriculum and mediocre teaching.
You still haven’t got to grips with the British line of succession,(probably due to trauma)
and you don’t give a toss about the national product of Brazil.
My poor girl. You were such a timid little thing,
Fearful of the girls at school, with their cruel mouths.
Fearful at home, with harsh blows.
But don’t worry my darling.
Turns out you are really quite clever,
And so very brave,
to arrive at being me.
