I used to dream my life away, <br />I even worshipped Ronnie Kray! <br />Good or evil, right or wrong <br />I liked my heroes to be strong! <br /> <br />You may think me a bloody fool <br />But I was bullied at my school, <br />I was a weakling in those days <br />But then I read about the Krays. <br /> <br />Ron was my favourite of the two <br />Because he offered something new, <br />It doesn't matter what you say, <br />My idol was both strong and gay! ! <br /> <br />A life of glamour and of crime <br />That has inspired this little rhyme, <br />It was a sort of teenage craze, <br />Those villains in their Glory Days! !<br /><br />John Thorkild Ellison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-coward-s-confession/
