What Makes Friendship

Listen to poem:

VIDEO: The Old Friends Do by ABBA (LYRICS) YouTube AUDIO: Listening Version What Makes Friendship What makes distance so touchable, What makes arm wrestling physical, What makes fun a thing for two, What makes tears of missing you, What makes secrets last, insiders, What makes smiles, to be tear-wipers, What makes fighting, ugh, forgivable, What makes forgiving unbearable, What makes oops somewhat culpable, What makes cleanup punishable, What makes laughs, the one-legged wins, What makes others say, "Not twins?", What makes saying goodbye really hard, What makes memories my field of regard. 2022 August 05 *1st Place* FRIENDSHIP ~~Beata Agustin: Judged 2022 August 08
