There will always be those people with whom you just won't get along, no matter how you try
Because they've chosen to be abrasive, unapologetic, disagreeable individuals and hard to be by
To the point where you don't bring up too much in their presence or within their ability to hear
As you know it would simply spark an unprompted argument, ending in a a rather unfriendly sneer
So you don't bring up much of even a remotely controversial nature, engaging in light talk
Until they seem to find fault even with some innocuous, tiny thing you mention, causing you to gawk
At their unparalleled unkindness and acidic behavior, unwarranted by any measure of reason
When you just have to leave them to their own attitude, hoping reasonableness for another season
