Now all I need is an epithet and I'm in business

You are Homer!
An epic poet circa 800 B.C., Homer is the expression of the ancient Greek ideal. His characters embark upon long and wordy quests and engage in battles of heroic length. Monsters are slain and cities are razed. Fun and glory all around!

Unfortunately, I too am Homer. Simpson, that is. According to my son, anyway, who pointed to a little plastic Homer figure and happily said "its daddy".
Doh!

Double Doh! Should've put it's, not its.

Here's mine:
"You are Lawrence Ferlinghetti! Modern rebel and owner and proprietor of the City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco, Lawrence Ferlinghetti is known for his playful tone and innovative style. He is MY favorite poet, and the works of lawrence are always eye-opening socio-cultural critiques in a light-hearted tone. He is recognized as one of the most influential poets of the beat era."

Congrats, Kath! Innovative, light-hearted and eye-opening are traits I'd associate with you. I got the Bard of Avon himself. "Shall I compare Thee to a summer's day" et cetera. Given that none of my faves were options, I'll gladly take it.
