Polite Yound Boy Strikes Back
They call him thick
Take the proverbial Michael out of him
With vengeful will at every opportunity
Treat him like he is the 13th Disciple
Yet he is a Polite young Boy
Tries ever so hard not to annoy anyone
In fact he goes out of his way to blend into the background
But he is still frowned upon
By the hip in crowd
He never speaks loud enough to be heard
He is a Mockingbird
With stunted wing's
Always on the periphery of cool thing's
One can only hope that when he grows up
He makes something of himself
Accumulates both success and wealth
And when his old acquaintances
Come a calling
And inquire
Do you remember me
He turn's his head ever so politely
And says
With a cheeky hidden smile
Sorry
NO
