Cloak of invisibility

Perfect the ‘Art of Disappearing’!

Follow instructions below:

1. Hide in plain sight

Take care, not to move.

Nothing to see here!

Nothing to lose!

They’ll all soon forget you

Strange, though true.

But,

If

someone’s still able to see you

Go to Step 2.

2. Hang around the ‘Popular’ Crowd

Copy their cookie-cutter fashion

Giggle at their lame ‘jokes’

Nod your Bobble-head

until it makes you choke

Tirelessly twist, trying to fit in

Obviously, you’ll never win!

Slowly, but steadily

you should fade away totally.

If not,

Progress to Stage 3…

3. Retreat to the safe haven of study and books

The ‘Callous, Careless and Cautious’

Will surely give you wide berth

Their ‘winds of reason’ widely disparate

Disdain, disinterest or fear

Guarantee you’ll begin to disappear.

However,

in the unbelievably unlikely event

that it will ever come to this

and

You remain visible to

a persistent person or few

Persevere and press on to Level 4…

4. Stay home in bed

Draw your curtains, lock the door

Blow out your light

Silence your treacherous phone

Let no one know you’re at home.

Any mildly curious minds

Can assume that you’re dead…

Your ultimate disappearance

Successfully achieved, with no interference!

Disclaimer:

An unfortunate few

Can’t complete their ‘Vanishing Act’.

We accept not one ounce of blame!

Lay it firmly at the feet

Of that faithful friend

Or loyal ‘loved one’

who won’t give up

And can’t be fooled.

They’re steadfast and determined

To stick with you till the end.

In which case

Rejoice!

Embrace

Your newly recognised

state of

Visibility!
