They knock at my door -uninvited
they never respect my privacy.
No soliciting I say and point to the sign
hoping they will understand and go away.
But we bring you the word of God
they explain and hand me a flyer,
the same one they gave me just a few weeks ago.
They point at a book and ask for my time
ignoring my wishes, like so many times before.
I believe in unicorns, mermaids, and elves,
can even show you a text explaining it all.
I honor your beliefs, would never ask you to change,
can you now please accept mine and close the door.

The happy Quitter! 
Gilles LIKES having them come to the door. He engages them in conversation and has even invited them in because he enjoys the argument …. I mean the “conversation”. A number of years ago they told him they were going to stop coming because he took too much time … and they stopped for about 3 years.
I’m willing to rent him out 😉

Oh, how funny to imagine they stopped coming by because of Gilles.
I should give it a try, sadly, my patience for stuff like that is limited.

When it comes to arguing politics and religion, Gilles’ capacity knows no bounds. I don’t share his enthusiasm.

… however I should mention that the two of you would be on the page 🙂
– although that wouldn’t stop Gilles from arguing the reverse just for the sake of argument 😉
