FRIENDS!
Some friends are like a holiday
a favorite pair of shoes
a post for kitten fingers to caress
Some friends can really wear you out
with whinging and their blues
Yet more or less - not worse than all the rest
Some friends are chatty cherubim
and others? - they need therapy!
these flock like pigeons pooping on my roof
Fickle friends and loyal friends both casual / aloof
Over-weaning minions with opinions w/o proof
With lots of bitter Twitter or too syrupy.
Well-meaning blokes who aren't above a goof.
Knuckleheads and pecker-woods
Tiresome? Fire some!
Who gets your jokes? Who's got the goods?
Hire some. Admire some.
Some friends are like a Gatling gun
Too cranky - inhospitable
So wonky or political
like Limbaugh or Sean Hannity
they eat away at sanity.
But then I stop and take a breath
to realize we all face Death
And each of us just does the best he can
For all the loopy giggling
and the smattering of niggling
I find a way to say this simple truth:
Friends are necessary - and even if it's scary
we're all like hounds just gnawing on a bone
I wouldn't trade a single one
to wallow in the free time
of my "me" time
ALL ALONE.
For all the EX-JW DUB Friends
Thanks for being there (ya gang of idiots!)
