Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

Just being here, hidden today,
Sorry Sir, if I'm in your way,
I'm average, nothing more or less,
Amongst these gifted talentless.
A misfit too, a shattered clique
Dwells here as part of my mystique.
Air and grace of times long dead,
Have made their refuge in my head.
My hobbies make renaissance man
Into master of none that can
Be counted on to fail on cue,
To give schaudenfreude to you.
