"Introduction (001)" - Written 18/03/09

Ladies and Gentlemen,
put your hands together please
for our very newest performer
as he makes his way to the stage.

He will be under-dressed,
his skin near blue
and covered in mess from
the dark, wet tubes
that he barely crawled,
and that we pulled him through.

He's a little on the small side now,
but just you wait and see-
He'll be a star someday,
he will be! Watch carefully.

Today's audience will see him grow,
and they will get to know
every detail of his fame,
from glossy covered magazines.

So follow his career a bit,
and tweak and change and reshape it
so he follows our profession's convention,
rather than learning to question.
The stage is a drug you see-
He'll be hooked on it, shortly.
