ROUND HOLE: Ever notice how you never fit it?
SQUARE PEG: Heh, yeah. But it damn sure ain’t for lack a tryin’.
ROUND HOLE: Ain’t that the truth! Here you are day in and day out, but you’d a thunk by know…
SQUARE PEG: Naaaah, it’s an old story RH. Us’n Square Pegs are used to it. If ya don’t fit, then ya just don’t fit. It’s really quite that simple.
ROUND HOLE: But…sometimes I get so bored with all the Round things! I mean, just once I think it’d be cool to see a Square fit in!
SQUARE PEG: Uhm, excuse me for saying this, but you’re not bein’ truthful there. You don’t want anything to do with Square Pegs. At first you maybe do but then…
ROUND HOLE: Oh? You sayin’ then I’m a liar?
SQUARE PEG: Well…maybe “a liar” is a little harsh. What I meant was, well…the longer I live up to your expectations here and say the right things at the right times and conform then the “rounder” in your eyes I become! But screw that! I’m not Round and therefore come nowhere near your idea of “perfect.” What I am is… I’m square! I just don’t fit the mold -never have and never will.
ROUND HOLE: And so you’re gonna just give up?
SQUARE PEG: No, I’m not going to give up! Heh, I’ve been a Square Peg my whole live-long life in this Round Hole filled world and despite it all I’ve managed to do quite fine thank-you-very-much! And there ARE a few Squares out there if one just takes the time to look and see them –although they are few and far between.
ROUND HOLE: Well ~yawn~ happy hunting then.
SQUARE PEG: Happy hunting? Hey, now that’s a good metaphor! Because when you DO stumble across another Square in this Round thing then it is a happy find indeed.
