"Does true friendship mean handling you with kid's gloves? When you are down and out, what kind of friend would you want by your side, the one who speaks the sarcastic truth and gets you riled up?"




This forward was sent to me by a friend who is straightforward and never minces her words yet she has a soft heart for her friends. My colleagues and I had a good laugh over it but some of it may be quite close to home.

"Friendship"

Are you tired of all those "friendship" poems that always sound good but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a "friendship" poem that really speaks of true friendship and truth itself.

My Friend...

When you are sad, I will get you drunk and help you plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.

When you are blue, I'll dislodge whatever is choking you.

When you smile, I'll know you finally got laid.

When you are scared, I will rag you about it every chance I get.

When you are worried, I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it can be and to quit whining.

When you are confused, I will use little words to explain it to your sorry ass.

When you are sick, stay away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

When you fall, I will point and laugh at your sorry ass.

This is my oath, I pledge till the end. Why you may ask? Because you're my friend.

Send this poem to ten of your closest friends and get depressed because you realize you only have 2 friends, and one of them is not speaking to you right now anyway.
