THE BUM KICKER !(should have had a grandfather/longcase/tallcase clock)  (April 2006)
Today is my first day,
and thus today is only the beginning,
yet today is the day they will
all remember.
The day on which they will look back
and say "Today,the Wonder Kid commenced employment at Fair Days Work Ltd."
I am not a revolutionary,at least
not a bloody one,but places like
Fair Days Work need a kick up the bum.
They need fresh blood!vigour!vitality!
in short,they need me!
Equally,I need them.
for without them,I will be unable to
prove that a sensitive,intelligent
individual,not one neatly shackled and
placed into the wheel with the rest
of the cogs,is capable of achievement,
and let there be no doubt,I am capable
and I shall achieve!
I am the new generation!
The new age!
The best there is!
I am THE BUM KICKER!
