Conformity For Acceptance

George was to us The Deformed
And his bones The Malformed …
Then, to our rules he conformed,
After he was duly informed
And by us pointedly reformed
And-Lo!-George stooped looking deformed
Nor were his bones still malformed
For overnight, new ones had formed!

Just through his Conformity for Acceptance,
In him stifling Tiger of Resistance.
