Rust

I'm in need of good friends I can trust.  
Friends who tell what they see when they must.  
Not like those who just say, 
"You're all shiny today;" 
when, instead, they should say, "You're all rust."  


Entered in Rick Parise's contest, 'Rust'.

Just like the late John Lennon sang in one of his songs on the "Imagine" album. "All I want is the truth, just gimmie some truth". Good limerick, John.

John, this is PERFECTLY metered and cute to boot. I Love how you did the topic. WHAT the HECK? LIGHT VERSE? You march straight over to that button and click on LIMERICK, sir! Now what was the name of the other limerick you said might not be one? If I don't find it, you tell me, ok? Merry Christmas!!!
