Excluded
Have you ever been excluded
From a party or event?
Maybe, you might have concluded,
Snubbing wasn’t the intent.
Still, to hear that folks will gather,
For a dinner, I’d presume,
And the hostess said she’d rather,
For a lack of food and room,
That there’d be no invitation
To include us on the list,
I am filled with indignation
And appropriately pissed.
At the moment I’m just chilling
In my cozy little house
And my time here I’ll be filling
By myself or with my spouse.
Guess it’s better I’m not going
To a place where it’s now clear
I would spend the evening knowing
I’ve been bumped to second tier.
