Shy Guy

He did just enough to barely squeak by Other would poke fun at this slovenly guy Fun to fry him because he was indubitably shy His ideas at work were never going to fly For a guy he did not aim extremely high Some said he came from the River Kwai His sandwich was always PB and rye Most of us said hi, as we walked by Many tried to pry; I will not lie. They wanted to know where he got his pie. It looked scrumptious, exactly the right chi. Always wore a suit and a pretty bow tie. Hair naturally curly, perhaps a snitch of a dye. He moved away one day, we never found why. No one was upset, for his office we did vie.
