Nom de Guerre

An Alias, it's how I'm known

A sideshow to a great unknown

My best side is the furthest from...me!

A nobody

In all my exertions

Eking out an era

Undermined, Underling

I'm sub-standard without a name

A somebody

I'm since endowed

Clambering across the feeble

Unrivalled, unequalled

Peerless standards around my name

Undermined, Underling

Kept behind so you would

thirst for prestige

Unrivaled, unequaled

Selected, refined

– stand and applaud
