Can you believe a man had to go to court
over his own birthday—whether or not he would celebrate
at work, where he’d already said, “No, thank you”
and offered explanation.
Not that he should need to give, or be pressed for, information
Personal, no less! But some won’t accept polite declination
Weighing his options, with composure he says
“I’m shy, the stress of it all, and I just don’t like the focus”.
So they press and cause a scene which of course, at work
permanently, unnecessarily taints his image—for his birthday … beyond
The moment won’t pass. He has a panic attack, which, at work
ruins their outlook; they fire him, basically and in effect, for his birthday.

Truly. The man did sue, and was awarded some financial recompense.
