Your 'Reputation'

(8)

Which logic seems to bring us to the question of who would most likely win a defecation suite: me or Walter Gerash. Lettuce hope it won't come to that.

Bringing us pretty much to the end of this dittie. But one thing bothers me: my failure to fully explore the concept of 'reputation.' You have no reputation. Your 'reputation' exists in the eye of the beholder. Your 'reputation' does not belong to you, it belongs to 'the others.'

It seems to follow therefore that all the blood and all the sweat and all the tears that you 'invest' in nurturing your 'reputation' do not really belong to you but to 'the others.' And they will do with it what they will.
