Short Man Syndrome

About Me

Once, we were a band called The Vendors. Proud fools with wilful minds and stubborn colds.After many years at sea, we return. With rough cheeks and cold hearts - buccaneering spirit and plank-walking abandonment. We’re straight up Rock Pirates.We’re Short Man Syndrome.************Carfan groyw yr oeddem rhywdro. Mintau mwyn o dan fanner y Vendors yn llywio y moroedd mawr.Llawer lleuad ar y lli yn ddiweddarach dychwelasom gyda'n gruddiau garw a chalonnnau dur-galed. Ar ben ein digion wrth estyll-gerdded i'r eigion. Dyma ni, mor-ladron milain-lawon croch.Ni yw Short Man Syndrome. MyGen Profile Generator
