Who--Or What--Do You Think You Are

Who, or what, do you think you are?
  A Bollywood star
    A Turkish bazaar
      An iron crowbar
        A permanent scar
          A late-model NASCAR
            An all-night Delhi darbar
              A cowardly lion, ala Bert Lahr
                A late-night replacement for Jack Paar
                  A postage stamp from the territory of Saar
                    A scene from MASH featuring Jamie Faar
                      An imported Swiss candy bar
                        A peripatetic avatar
                          A native of Madigascar
                        A powerful drug czar
                      A tractor-driver from Navistar
                    A pro golfer who can't even break par
                  An empty peanut butter jar
                An unwritten memoir
              A smelly, old cigar
            A boring academic seminar
          An unidentified flying object on radar
        A diplomat from Myanmar
       A fancy antique boudoir
     A hardy-har-har-har!
