It is said that one of my ancestors invented the longbow

I have not been able to verify this

From the age of eight I collected coloured buttons

I still have my collection which is now hidden in the loft

When I was in Korea my transport plane crashed

I was detailed to recover the dead

My girlfriend wears a wig as her hair has fallen out

There is no medical explanation for this condition

I was brought up in the Jewish faith which I have now abandoned

As it brought me no comfort and a great deal of pain

I was born twenty-two years ago

In a small back room in Pimlico
