All About Eve

All About Eve

I am here to say it's not all about me
it's not   all about me
well if its not all about me
tell me who the chuff is it all about ?
I'm in here on the inside pulling all
the strings, not the person behind
the curtain..I have control here in my hand
and in times of adversity..in times
of excess alcohol or too much pie
it is..all about me
do  shoot the messenger
if they should utter
it's not all about you..
for it can only be about  me..
I bring you not a contradictive note
nor a vessel with a pestle 
with the poison of distress
a vase that contains an asp
I labour under no other name
than I
it is..all about me
from day one until day finito
till I die
it is my show

Funny, irreverent...and glistening with subtle allusions and references.

Delightful!
