True Friendship

If you do not have a fantastic sense of humor you will not make the cut,
Because my friends like to smile, joke, and laugh, sometimes they howl with laughter, but
My best buddies can be serious when they have to, when someone is hurting or sad,
And they can be the best kind of listener when someone has made me insanely mad.
I look for honor and trust in all of my very best friends, it has to be there.
If I did not revere them, our friendship would be dishonest, totally not fair.
When I got to PoetrySoup, one person in particular was especially kind.
She got on SoupMail and gave me some pointers, many quite brilliant and fine.
We have had this transatlantic relationship since that very same day,
If I ever had a chance to meet her in person, I would say hip hip hooray!

I have to do something now that I am wide awake and irritated. It certainly beats the death penalty.
