I have it tough you see....
my dad thought
long and hard
bout the name
he'd give me.

Since he was M.A.N.
and I was first born,
does that make
me the Son of man?
I digress so don't
let me regress,
tangentially rant or
cause you any stress.

My father decided on
the French version
of his middle name;
I was thusly
anointed Antoine.

Being the first,
they expected a lot
but I guess they
had picked the right one.

It means beyond praise
and in those early days
as a prodigy child
everyone thought
I'd be The One.
