Disapproval

Make being disapproved of your hobby
Make being disapproved of your aim
Devise new ways of scoring points
In the Being Disapproved of game
 
Let them disapprove in their dozens
Let them disapprove in their hordes
You’ll find that being disapproved of
Builds character, brings rewards
 
At this point if it’s useful
Draw a pie chart or graph
Show it to someone who disapproves
When they disapprove – just laugh

Count the emotions you provoke
Anger suspicion shock
One point for each of these, and two
For every boat you rock

Feel yourself warming to the task
Do it really well
Until you find this area
Is the one in which you excel

Savour the thrill of risk without
The fear of getting caught
Whether they sulk or scream or pout
Enjoy your new found sport

Meanwhile all those who disapprove
While you are having fun
Won’t even know your game exists
So tell yourself – you’ve won!
