The Red Dot
What? I have a red dot?
What is this mark upon my person?
How did I get it?
Perhaps it's a mistake.
Maybe not.
Could I be at fault?
Yes, you say.
What?
I have this red dot ,
And you put the blame on me!
Explain your position sir I'm all ears.
What do you mean when you utter the words
NON-COMPLIANT!
All I did was what I thought best,
I must have hurt your little professional heart,
When I chose to do MY thing!
Now I've been "red-dotted" for life.
I must carry this stigma on my charts,
wherever I choose to go.
The red dot will always give me away.
The situation will certainly be a pain,
If you are in doubt, just ask Seinfeld's Elaine!
