It's Still Sitting on the Shelf

It’s Still Sitting on the Shelf

It’s still sitting on the shelf,

Suited up in protective polyolefin

And waiting to be claimed.

It’s still sitting on the shelf,

Watching the casual window shoppers,

And wondering when someone

Will take a chance.

It’s still sitting on the shelf,

Unceremoniously shoved in the back

Outshined by the newer, fresher,

Bigger, better offer.

It’s still sitting on the shelf,

The “best if used by” date draws near

But no one ever notices...
