Explanatory note: may be a real person, may be made up. Maybe a bit of both.
You may not have heard of him yet
You may not have heard of him yet
This hero on the internet
The English guy who writes cool books –
Leather jacket, bad boy looks
Or host invites you, take a stroll
Through his virtual goldfish bowl
Buy the tee-shirt, walk the walk
Marvel at his table talk
His life's entirely free of trouble
His manner's easy, like his stubble
The modest guy who won the race:
“Right now my novel's in first place”
His accent's vaguely American
He'll reply to you, if he can
His meekness is a handy pose
He's a wolf-man in sheep's clothes
Behind his charming smile, a sneer –
Another prize, another year
“Yesterday, we bought a rug.
My cat is sleeping.” God how smug
His blog and website are his life
His perfect kids, his perfect wife
Millions choose to peer inside
Mass adulation feeds his pride
