I posed as the following whilst on the run:
Knuckles O’Toole
Crusher McNab
Vinnie the Slasher
Big Dennis Lunn

These were my elegant nom-de-plumes:
Corky St Michael
Warren Piece
Cardew Sartorious
Sir Septimus Coombs

These chaps I was in a past incarnation:
Attila the Hun
Thierry the Frog
Giacomo the Wop
Ghengis the Asian

For a while I fought crime with a brave alter ego:
The Black Shadow
The Green Flash
The Brown Smear (in his old beige Montego)

Admittedly I was only these guys in my head:
Destructo-Man
Electro Boy
Giganto-Thor
Well Hung Ned

Before I got caught I forged huge bouncy cheques:
Sheikh Yer Bhutti
Michael Mouse
Ed Lyce
Mr X

In my stories I am modestly immortalised in print:
Dan Brannigan
Brad Dannigan
Sam Finnegan
Commander Flint
also
Colonel Devonshire
Zeke McGinty
A Man Called Cobra
Iron Man Clint

In disguise, undercover with a bogus ID:
Count von Tirpitz
Lady Shagworthy
Lemsip Ofuk – Lib Dem MP

A celebrity stalker needs an apt pseudonym:
Norbert Drool
Cedric Grope
Uriah Sniff
Jude O’Quim

All these I was or purported to be
Now I shall settle down and try to be me.
