He is The Hunchback of Common Plights,
Weighed down, misshapen by piled
slights,
Uninvited, turned back on and
overlooked,
Once bitten, twice too shy, and three
times forsook,
Sent to conference-slash-symposium-
Slash-trade show-slash-impose on hims,
Put down, put out, put last, put off
and ignored.
Last on every speed dial, they call
when they're bored,
and every wound, physical or mental,
he's suffered,
He's bandaged back without a word.
He's been used and disposed of, caught
and throw back,
and people wonder why he's not much to
look at.
