Let's Play a Game

At first it was “let's play a game of six-on-one.

Winners don't have to sit in the corner and cry!”

Eventually, the games got a little more sly,

and I stopped sitting in the corner.

Finally, we played around of “monkeys see, monkeys do.”

Ever had a hundred people try to look like you?

I never belonged,

But I survived.

Now, on the way from too little new

To way too much to do,

I'm constricted by an ill-fitting schedule.

The long arm of bureaucracy thrashes me up and down–

One toe-deep end-one toe-deep end.

I don't belong...
