Nigel’s- A little boy lost

Nigel’s the man we all hope were not
A loner, an outsider
A man who acts the fool allot

A man in his forties
No apparent friends, no obvious family
The subject of so much cruelty

A strange recluse
Lonely and empty
He uses childishness as an excuse

He craves acceptance
Yet receives only contempt
He causes only more distance

He sits alone
The classic eccentric
There’s now way he’ll ever be a corporate clone

He tries to speak
But no one listens
He sits hunched and meek

Becoming Nigel is our fear
Understanding him, even more so
For next time you see a Nigel imagine
That may be you down to the core.
