David Brown Poet Rhyme

Your Request Is Under Consideration

Dear friend, how many times now, have I stood up for you?
Been a friend when you needed; been a friend that was true

When we met, you were still very new to my city 
you were both struggling for work and were full of self-pity

I gave you contacts, introductions and references too,
I even gave you a job once; it was the least I could do

Once again, now you've come to my well just to drink,
to ask my  support...well now, friend, let me think...

Hmmm.....

You dropped me as fast as a hot burning ember,
when you heard I was divorcing my matrimonial member 

In a mad rush to judgement, you ran straight out the door;
well, in truth you just slammed it and left ME on the floor

You stopped with the Christmas cards, never mind any emails,
I just assumed it was my fault for not sharing the details

But with all of your self-proclaimed "good Christian morals",
shame on YOU for taking sides in other people's quarrels 

Still, in my heart I hearken back to what I always told you before;
"It's my pleasure to help you; that's what true friends are for"

So.....who do you want me to address this letter to?
