This needs a bit of work still. Suggestions welcome.
My silhouetted form, obese and bald,
Attended by that fruity London slur
Secured my fame worldwide. I have been called
The cinema’s pre-eminent auteur,
Epitomising what François Truffaut
Respected most; an individual voice,
Original and clear. I ran the show:
Found scripts myself, approved each casting choice,
Stamped Hitchcock style on everything in frame.
Uninterested in romantic plots,
Still less in jokes, I found that I became
Preoccupied with thrillers. I made lots:
Each year I put fresh crimes on celluloid,
Notched up another guiltless man to test,
Stuck in a blonde he should (but won't) avoid
Et cetera. It’s what I did the best.
