Mr. Mediocre

Mr. Mediocre 

Mr. Mediocre is a melancholy man

He is sad but not broken

He is down but not out

He wants to be someone’s friend

He’s just waiting for the shout …

I have been wronged so many times 

But this is something new

It just hurts the same that’s all, he said

With love from me to you ……………… x

This is just so sweet and it reminds me of the Mr Men books that I used to read to the kids. Mr Mediocre, I think is being a bit modest here. I think you may have a queue forming here, but as I got here first I hope you will work on the premise of first come first served. Also no need to shout. I can hear you when you whisper.The ending is endearing. You are going to make a lot of people smile on a miserable day :)

Many thank you's Chris, if I can do that, then I shall be a very happy chappy :)

You know I've come back to this to read again. Mr Mediocre might think he needs friends but he needs an english teacher more to explain fully the meaning of mediocrity :)

second visits are always welcome and doubly appreciated .....

Good morning dear Neville.

You spank this profile of the common invisible person, the one who stands by, being hopeful & helpful no matter how many times he/she is dismissed for mediocrity. This feels like a spoof on hero worship, as if the only people some see are the ones in the spotlight while millions toil in mediocrity waiting for a few crumbs of acknowledgement (((STAR))) Fondly, Margie

Hello my friend Neville. I believe new world is different. I talk to more people now than before. People, seem to need conversation. Coronaviras made people need to hear voices. The world can be lonely and we need someone to see us. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

the World is a better place to be... no longer a mediocre sort of guy...
and not a bit shy... tenderly, Pat

Surely the poem doesn't refer to you! Can't do and must not. Even to creating those words prove otherwise. Perhaps the damp and drear gets to people at times. Best remember that 'mediocre' has a different meaning when when said by a man on the bottom rung of the ladder or the one at the top who thought he could cope with the height and dived head first into the air! Plaintiff finish.. ..

[Neville]

Nah, not me emmajoy .. I'm far too busy winging it .. or should I say .. merely failing to fly .. gonna get there one day tho, just you mark my words ... :)
