This poem was used in one group's Guides Own on friendship. Someone asked for me to post it. It's a good and goofy one!
Friendship
If you're ever in a jam,
Here I am.
If you're ever in a mess,
S.O.S.
If you ever feel so happy you land in jail,
I'm your bail.
It's friendship, friendship,
Just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships have been forgot,
Ours will still be hot.
If you're ever up a tree,
Phone to me.
If you're ever down a well,
Ring my bell.
If you ever lost your teeth and you're out to dine,
Borrow mine.
It's friendship, friendship,
Just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships have been forgate,
Ours will still be great.
If they ever black your eyes,
Put me wise.
If they ever cock your goose,
Turn me loose.
If they ever put a bullet through your brain,
I'll complain.
It's friendship, friendship,
Just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships have been forgit,
Ours will still be it.
