Friends

Young ones, old ones 
Always seem to know ones
How many good friends do you have?

Happy ones, flappy ones
Indecisive chatty ones
Spending hours talking on the phone.

Forget the ones who bore you
Quite often ignore you
Unless there’s something in it for them.

Friends to watch a film with
Dance the night away with
Lending you their shoes and new red shirt.

Kind ones, wise ones
There when times are hard ones
Never leaving you on your own.

Friends to share a cake with
Friends to stay awake with
Talking all night about the guy next door.

Sad pals, mad pals
Up to no good gals.
How much fun did we have?

So here’s to the best ones
The always can be bothered ones.
Thank you one and all.

nice, I like the funny light humor to most of this, with a poignant statement to 'The always can be bothered ones." true friends
