Ants crawling along your arms 

Fiery dragons breathing charm

Huggy bears surrounding you

Troubled folks feeling so blue



Bugged by would-be friends

Who really only do pretend

And wouldn't give time of day

If you asked them on a pathway



Folks who harbor animosities

Aren't at all in any way pretty

For they are dragging weight

With no reality, as it's just freight
