Benny never was the flyest kid on the block,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never the king of the kids, grades all over the shop,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Nerd,\u2019 \u2018geek\u2019, \u2018dweeb\u2019, he\u2019d heard \u2018em all, branded every title suggesting weirdness and withdrawal,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teacher was a decent sort, though that patience sometimes ran short,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turned into a banshee rather quickly when her tribe be yapping like parrots atop a tree,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now and then handed gifts to they who pulled their weight,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worked hard and played fair, kind to all and made the grade,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benny never cared, his sole objective was to survive,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you could imagine his surprise, one time, he was announced the winner of the prize,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Felt great to be on top, to the victor goes the spoils,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The underdog crowned the king, his peers his loyal subjects, gotta do as he pleased,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the moment was short-lived, reality an unwanted intruder,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The home bell sounds and they\u2019re onto him like vultures,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sore losers and intimidators joining forces demanding and threatening that he hand it over, even though he\u2019d won it no problem,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voices from all directions got him feeling trapped and frustrated,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuck the lot of them, fuck being the winner, turned out to be a curse than a blessing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Off he marches to teacher, relinquishes the crown,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018I don\u2019t deserve this,\u2019 says he, she needn\u2019t question him any further,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Takes it back, dismissed the class, can\u2019t condone actions nothing short of crass,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Much to their dismay, moaning and groaning all around,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just desserts served, bullying can never be rewarded, they denied him of his moment, now they\u2019re paying for it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so Benny slinks away, head bowed, thank God it\u2019s a Friday,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a bitter blow but the weekend awaits, he lives to fight another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
