The Rooftop Child

I am in no respect, what society labels as a nimrod or a "dweeb",

no, in fact I prefer: lonesome traveler, the man who needn't companions

Without a doubt, sometimes its fatiguing, all this global exploration without an "apprentice"

and occasionally I am victim to the plague that is jokes and dumb middle-school witticism

But I, the man who persists so greatly that friends are not neccesary, has learned to adjust

I take no notice when my clothing is mocked as, rest assured, gingham shorts will be voguish soon

and its of no importance that my 3D specks are not pleasing to the general public

because one day, this solitary figure will uncover a treasure, oh yes

and the commons will crowd around and I will be the cynosure of all eyes

Females will exchange blows over who gets to spend time with me

and the boys, so popular back in the days, will scrounge for my attention

but until this day, the lonesome traveler must persist, valiant, determined and... alone.
