Will the Last One Out Please Turn Off the Light

Join the Reject Society.
An after-school club here’s the dates for your diary.
Normally with clubs some exclusion is expected,
For this club, every applicant has been rejected.
And by that definition are accepted.
It’s an antisocial assembly.
With a vocally reticent club president,
Dyslexic secretary and kleptomaniac treasury
Worldwide we conspire in secret
Pious eedjits would rewrite the truth as we try and speak it.
So I respond with the silent treatment…
Aye right. Not likely. Darwin Almighty.
I might be 1984’d if I’m caught writing…
I mean what d’you expect?
We’re meant to get caught in the net, that’s why they call it the web.

There’s no audition or application
Or waiting list based on yir personal statement
No nods, winks or secret handshakes
You can’t fall out with our target demographic
No greedy backers or nuisance bankers
Funded by an army of translucent hackers
The disillusioned and disaffected
We want you: Step up and be rejected

Will the last one out please turn off the light

Escape from the pigeonhole, the lonely and miserable
If only on principle, we’re wholly indivisible
The norm is hypercritical: It’s so hypocritical.
And Darwin forbid you should ever get political.
So go with me if you don’t know what you’re supposed to be
Believe ghost stories or like to write poetry;
Math-letes in trousers that suggest yir cat’s deid.
Great Gatsbys, with elbow patches and mismatched teeth.
Talking to your self is not a sign of lunacy
Or if you seek solace in the online community
I’m rejecting the concept of imperfection:
Imperfect at whose discretion?
Better have me sectioned for picking a fight
With a notion that’s nothing more than a trick of the light.
So whether social, conceptual or physical:
You say reject. I say individual.

Will the last one out please turn off the light
