119: last re-sort

i never got into the world of witchcraft and wizardry.
i always have been, however,
indescribably and irresistibly interested in adaptations
of low fantasy based on real-life situations, and
real live actors utilising ideas from fiction.
to be somewhat more specific,
i was amused to find
that i was red and gold the other year
then black and yellow the other day.
it's hard to take in
when and why and how
i changed
from preppy-and-proud teacher’s pet,
to last-choice cherub in gym class;
from king of the pridelands
to a downgraded bear.
but when i tried
to dig up dirt
on the band of badgers,
i unearthed nothing.
that’s when i realised
that being fair
is better than being right,
that being tiny
does not mean we are powerless,
that being unpopular
never did make us insignificant,
and,
perhaps most importantly,
that this may be a sign
that i spend way too much time
on these damn personality tests.
