Now that I’ve told my secret
I’d like to take my leave of all of you
with a hearty hug and handshake all around
being in total harmony with myself
now that I’ve successfully brought to a close
the mission the Lord commended unto me
when he appeared to me in dreams
22 miserable years ago
I swear I bear no malice to anyone
not even those who cast doubts on my manhood
let it be known to those reverent gentlemen
that I’m every inch a man completely normal
begging pardon for speaking in vulgar terms
because this is the language of the people.
