Friend and Foe Frolick
“Friend, friend, why do you hate me
I shower love to make you see
How much in your company I’d like to be.”
“Foe, on the contrary, no friendship debt to you do I owe
Look me in the eye and friendship up will show
Despite the carbuncle that treads on your toe.”
“Friend, would you rather on my back I carried you
Or would you like from me a love cue
I beseech you to consider my offer anew.”
“Foe, excuse me. Why should I on you lavish tender care
When in full view of society to me you glare
Besides, airs you display to me seem unfair.”
“Granted, Friend. Leave the pesky past well alone
Let’s start anew to earn us a love loan
As you and I true love we might own.”
“Foe, let’s love each other to forge ahead
Cleanse the past from our bed and leave it for dead
And hatred for good shall desert our head and trade without any bloodshed.”
