My Friends

Opera phantoms, quasimodo,
gila monsters, and komodo, 
Dr. Jekyl, Mr. Hyde
are my pals, I must confide.  
John Merrick and Frankenstein -
these are true friends of mine.

Mr. Crandall, we have a few questions we'd like to ask you: First and foremost, what do you look for in a friend? No, I take that back. Here's my first and final question: Can you define two words for us: 1. 'Friend' 2. 'Murderer' ... lol.

Haha, from this poem, you might think my definition would be Friend - see murderer or vice-versa. I guess my answers to word association can be concerning.
