Sent to me a while back by a good friend:
Are you tired of those sissy
"friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to
reality?
Well, here is a series of
promises that actually speak of true friendship.
You will see no cutesy
little smiley faces on this card-
Just the stone cold truth of
our great friendship.
1. When you are sad -- I
will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you
sad.
2. When you are blue -- I
will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile -- I will
know you are plotting something that I must be involved
in.
4. When you are scared -- I
will rag on you about it every chance I get.
5. When you are worried -- I
will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit
whining.
6. When you are confused --
I will use little words.
7. When you are sick -- Stay
the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you
have.
8. When you fall -- I will
point and laugh at your clumsy ass.
9. This is my oath.... I
pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask; "because you are my
friend".
Friendship is like peeing
your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true
warmth.
Love this one.... Growing up, my brother and I had about a dozen friends that always hung out at our house. To this day, they call my parents Mama & Papa. My best friend from that group married my little sister, quite a feat as we (the entire group) scared any boys away from my sisters. We were a bit (a lot?) over-protective. Anyway, most of this "poem" could be used to describe us... The memories. Heh.... We've since mostly moved on, but at a call from any one us, we all come running. Friendship is a beautiful thing...
Oh my god , I love it!Thanks for sharing! Funny!
