I was a great dissembler.
I never told father I was proud of him
after the incidents,
red-head Saint Christopher upon the neck.
Brawler and rounder,
I never told father I was proud of him,
after the incidents.
I never told the New York Times
he was a brawler and a rounder.
I never told father I was proud of him.
I owe my mother everything,
I never told the New York Times.
He was a brawler and a rounder.
We had a code of silence.
I owe my mother everything.
I never told the New York Times.
My father was notorious.
