131 - Here’s the Thing

You can call me names

I don’t mind if you do

Because nobody hates me

As much as I do

You can say I’m a bit fat

This much is also true

But nobody hates me

Quite as much as I do

You can make fun of me

But join the back of the queue

Cos no one hates me

As much as I do

All of the above

To me, none of it’s new

But here’s the brilliant thing

At least I’m not you
