Worth a Dream

Some people have the knack
To show up uninvited
And crawl beneath our skin

They enrage and irk us till
We want to strangle them
If only there were a way
To avoid their drama and theatrics

Some way to magically bypass
All those who so make our blood boil
A way to brush off and discard them

To keep our path of life
Pristine and clear
With nothing but inspirational
Loving graceful people

Just a very silly dream I have

Wonderfully written, I think God puts knuckleheads in our lives to show us how blessed we are to have good loving people in our lives too...<3

"Some way to magically bypass All those who so make our blood boil" - you have described them well. And I know two.

It is an art to ignore unworthy people... I have not mastered it... yet.
