You Know A Guy…

No one will ever be recognized

For an honor they rightfully earned;

There’s a record that this person holds

For which they might be spurned,

Mocked, even berated,

But no one will know that they can.

This honor is the dubious record

For the world’s most forgettable man.

The books won’t remember his nothing.

The films won’t remember his lame.

His funeral will be unattended

For none will remember his name.

Maybe he’s already out there,

Anonymous, without a clue,

But if you keep just reading that Powerpoint

That person may just yet be you.
