The First Bank Of Friendship
~*Marge Tindal*~

If friends were gold,
and they may very well be,
I'd have to open my own bank
The First Bank Of Friendship
where deposits are made daily
Friendship with each new account
where interest is compounded
not confounded
no overdrafts
no monthly fees
no reality-check charges
I'd be wealthy beyond doubt with
the deposits placed in my account
where withdrawals are not allowed
My bank would draw quite a crowd
The First Bank Of Friendship
an entrepreneurs dream
Now Open For Business
come deposit your
friendship with
the growing
First Bank  
Of Friendship
where the dividends
keep multiplying
You can bank on it !

No doubt you'd find your bank so replete with deposits, you could go "national" in no time at all...

Hey, you can count on me for sure!
I'd love to be your customer!
I'll fill up that old bank account
And see how much my fortunes mount!

Your eyes will bulge out as you see
Deposits that will come from me
And there will never be a call
To punish me for early withdrawal!

So open for this charming feller
(Just don't be a kissin' teller)
If you will trust this smiling stranger
I'd love to be your loan arranger!

You are refreshing as always my dear friend!!  What an amazing reminder that friendship is a treasure to behold.

Marge, yours is the only bank I know where you are allowed to make withdrawals before you make a deposit.  You do understand laws of abundance...A treasure, my mom friend...

Glad to spread a smile.
By the way ... you don't just 'visit'
here ... you join the family !
Welcome.

Neitham~
Thank you for such warm compliments.
I think I became the 'richest' with
the first deposit of friendship.
That is the greatest gift we give
to ourselves.

Michael~
Sweetie, you've got that right.
The investment always pays off.
Love ya'

Marge, I am SO glad you're opening up a bank! I'm really irritated with the one I go to. The room is very small, the Playboy magazines are AT LEAST three years old, and the size of that jar....well, they're just asking a bit too much, if you want my opinion!!! I mean, really! Not only that, the music is...huh? What? Not that kind of bank??? Oh! er,,,OOPS!

Marge,
   Every time I read a piece of your work I love it more and more!  You are wonderful!  And I also want to thank you for the card you sent me this morning.  I am so glad to be part of the passions family -- even though I have only posted two poems as of yet!

LOL !
Found this little delight and decided to
bump it back to the top -
JUST IN CASE there are additional depositors !

Balladeer~
You still are the neatest guy I know.
Well ... funniest !
Richest ... cause your interest is rising rapidly !

TerryW~
Lots of friendship through the window
since you came on board.
But you do need to make more frequent deposits !

*Everybody have fun !
Bank open 24 Hours.
