His enigmatic stage is his saturnine
appearance belied by the clearly
twinkling mischief in those eyes
his mobile, expressive face
manifesting his inner spirit
compensating for the trauma
suffered as a child which despite
that anguish bred in him an intuitive
feel for emotional manipulation
and through talent and bravado
transformed him into the celebrity
he planned to be. But such a modest
one, impressively toe twitching
in bashful resignation when lionized
while frugally banking the results.
Writing his youthful autobiography
and stressing his troubled childhood
his modest nature chose to title the
book with one word: a four-letter
contraction of his given name.
