No Man's Man

This no man's man
     whose neither here nor there
This gawky man-child
     who is oh so debonair

This working-class Tommy
     in middle-class skin
This staunch moralist
     abnormally attracted to sin

This proud as punch Piscean
     who sneers the horoscope
This structured traditionalist
     who subscribes to post-modernist tropes

This liberal conservative
This corporeal ghost
This humble horn blower
This ill-mannered host

This Mediterranean-Saxon
This carpenter’s son
This jack of some trades
This master of none

This loyal adulterer
This cosmetic-less clown
This industrious idler
This verbal noun

This prude
This pervert
This pleb
This ponce
This pragmatic dreamer
This pacifist who taunts

If only a Knight could slay half this beast
Then maybe the remaining half could at last be complete
