Perched alone at a table by the door
I spoke to him not knowing his intent.
He was more than happy to talk to me.
I think that is what his expression meant.
I am such a friendly kind of fellow.
I’m always speaking to strangers a lot.
This guy was baited and ready to go
on a topic about which he was hot.
Like a madman he proclaimed his vile view
and in the greatest pride he seemed to gloat
as he expressed his deepest hatred
for the candidate for which I will vote.
Experience told me to humor him
there is no way I would change his closed mind.
I applauded his great depth of study
And attempted to be one who is kind.
I smiled and thanked him for talking to me
As I helped the long conversation end
and shook his hand as I went out the door
as he shout to me, “Good bye, my friend.”

We all have our pros and cons, but we also must have the decency of keeping those view to ourselves, who needs the aggravations?
