The definition of unloved

No, not me, the pumpkin! For one Saturday night it was the centre of attention, the cat's whiskers by the look of it. Then, come Wednesday, even the bin men don't want to know it and it's left there to moulder away in the cold and the damp. People can be so fickle in their favours - and don't feel all smug if you're a pine tree because 12 days after Christmas they won't care about you either!
