Awesome poem!  It really "touched" me.  Korny, I know, but it did.  Nice blend of humor and depth.  Got anymore?

  "Li'l Miss Cellophane"
  ["Mister Cellophane" from CHICAGO]

  Respectfully dedicated to Caius


  [Enter Ginny Weasley, solo.]

  GINNY
  If some young witch at dinnertime
  Stood up and swore in perfect rhyme
  And waved her wand and threw a fit
  You'd notice her

  If someone in the midnight gloom 
  Yelled, "FIRE in the common room!"
  And even screamed a little bit
  You'd notice her

  And even without clucking like a hen
  Everyone gets noticed now and then
  Unless, of course, that personage should be
  Invisible, inconsequential me...

  Cellophane 
  Li'l Miss Cellophane
  Shoulda been my name
  Ginny Cellophane
  'Cos you can look right through me
  Walk right by me
  And never know I'm there!

  Suppose you were a gang of boys
  Who'd tease their sister for their joys
  And use her for their greatest jokes
  You'd notice her

  Suppose you shared a Hogwarts House
  With one who, quiet as a mouse,
  Spoke up for you against the blokes--
  You'd notice her

  You'd think with all the catastrophic fare
  We'd see more than a Weasley with red hair
  Unless that red-haired Weasley next to you
  Is unimpressive, undistinguished You-Know-Who...

  [spoken](And no, I don't mean Voldemort!)

  ...Shoulda been my name
  Ginny Cellophane
  'Cos you can look right through me 
  Walk right by me
  And never know I'm there
  I--tell--ya--
  Cellophane
  Li'l Miss Cellophane
  Shoulda been my name
  Ginny--Cellophane
  'Cos you can look right through me
  Walk right by me
  And never know I'm there
  Never even know I'm there...!


  [Shakes her fist at JKR impatiently and walks offstage]
