Uninvited

The last of this round of poetry. More is apt to come before too long, to break up the philosophical posts and party posts if for no other reason.

I got no invite to the party Friday night
Made like it was no big deal and stayed home to read
But to say I wasn't bothered wouldn't be right
I got no invite

I guess in this life there is nothing guaranteed
Didn't assume they'd want me but I thought they might
There are plenty of reasons not to, I concede

It's true, my pride is wounded, but I'll be all right
To be where I'm not asked for I will never plead
There will be other parties in spite of this slight
I got no invite
