Deserving Few

You might call me paranoid,
but I think there's a conspiracy.
By neither bureaucrats nor governments
but by "friends," against little ol' me.

I think they're out to get me,
looking for pet peeves.
Find out what disgusts me,
just to give me the skeeves.

Can't we all just get along?
No? Apparently not!
Fine then, be a nasty prick,
a liar and a sot.

I've given up on being nice,
at least to the lot of you.
I'll save my friendship and my peace
for a certain deserving few.

Author's Note

For the record, nearly the entirety of the WC is part of the deserving few (apparently not so few, eh?), so no one get their knickers in a bunch ;)

Feedback appreciated as always, I'm looking to edit this one for the sake of rhythm and readability.

sot: Middle English for a drunkard or one who is stupefied (as if intoxicated); a fool

Thank you

I read one of your reviews and was impressed enough to visit your profile. To discover your age was a shock because there's a maturity in your thoughts and writings far beyond your years. I enjoy reading you and will do more.

The flow of this piece works pretty much as is, Will. And you certainly got your message across... :)

Oh alright.... I kept reading it to myself and it just didnt sound as crisp as some other works. Thanks Rita, your reviews and advice are always appreciated.

You know you're paranoid when you think they're talking about you on the Spanish channel

LOL. That made me laugh, Mark. Thanks for reading.
