let me introduce myself
i almost said, allow me to introduce myself
or permit me to introduce myself
but i caught myself just in time
those terms are old fashioned
and i am not an old fashioned guy
i am up to date
i’m hip to the scene
i did not just fall off a banana boat
so as i was saying
let me introduce myself
i am the center of the universe
i am the emperor of the universe
notice i say “the” universe, not just some little “a” universe
if you wish to address me, please address me as
“your most celestial and all-encompassing majesty and holiness”
i have seen many things in my time
and done many things
and am many things
i rode the rails with jesse james
and hitchhiked through south america with ambrose bierce
and crossed the frozen tundra with jack london and an old mama lion
i play right field for the los angeles dodgers
and center field for the new york yankees
and left field for the boston red sox
and quarterback for the new england patriots
and point guard for the golden state warriors
i won the nobel peace prize for literature ten years in a row
and the nobel peace prize for mathematics twenty years in a row
i am the world’s funniest comedian
and the world’s greatest actor
and greatest lover
i spent thirty years on top of a mountaintop
meditating
and directing the flow of planets and galaxies through the heavens of the universe
which was thirsty work
right now i am working on a screenplay
of the world’s greatest movie
which will be watched a thousand times
by every creature in my universe
well, that is enough about me
for now
i’ll see you around
hasta la vista
just win, baby
