I am the bungled and the botched

I am the bumbling rumble, the rumbling bumble, the botched bungler, the bungled botcher, the Giddy Glaiket, the Pakeha Palooka, the Local Yokel, the Boeotian Philistine, the insane profane, the vulgarian vulgarist, wandering maunderer, maundering wanderer, drivelling rambler, rambling driveller, a wobbling babbler, and a babbling wobbler.

A prophet of no profit, a poet of no point, a philosopher of no sophia (wisdom)

I wobble and I stagger in the darkness.

I am the botched and the bungled the bungled and the botched, the expandable mass:

A VERY UNIQUE SOUL AMONG 100 BILLION OF THEM.

100,000,000,000 OF US WHO HAVE PASSED THROUGH THIS LONELY PLANET.
