I am happy about thin crusts of friends and thicker slices of bread ends; shallow ones stand yards out from the genuine few like David did of yore, for it was Goliath he slew... Chances of his victory were so slim to vanquish an enemy with more than a whim pleased he was when he believed in himself and I am happy that I can count on myself... Rather than in a number who mix friendship with favours takes the essence out of comaraderie, it loses its flavour when the adage goes "do this for me, cause I'm working for you" I'd add "better not say too much, I can only count on a few". What about inquisitive types that ask for friendly details when it comes to self-description there's a lack without fail and ones who believe that to borrow money is a true sign of their friendship who are quick to annul their friendly tone when you refuse to pay from the hip. Would rather consume thicker slices of bread ends than worry about the future of thin crusts of friends © Copyright 2004 ecrivan [This message has been edited by wordwizard (01-22-2004 12:05 AM).] |

This is incredibly true to life. It is unfortunate. True Friends are hard to come by. Enjoyed this very much. Thank you. |

Martin, I have lived and learned as you have...which are really friends and which are friendly when it "suits" them. hugs M |

Your fine compliments are well received. Maureen friendship becomes rarer as time proceeds, I guess. Enjoyed the the metaphoric uses of crusts of friends myself Kathleen..and as for the use of friendly to describe details...there's that subtle sarcasm again! |

Bridgitte, Long time since I've read your work!Must admit being articulate goes hand in hand with expecting more from myself as time goes on. Raven, Dabbled in philosophy many moons ago and have always nutured thoughts acquired through readings. That and texts written by R.D. Liang influenced some of my early poetry.Guess we are what we read in many respects, right? |
