Old Friends : Friendship Poetry

written by Poet : Codger


OLD FRIENDS

 

Old friends are tough to find

But if you’re lucky and ya’ do

They’ll always be there with a word

Whether rough, or kind, or true

 

They’ll look at ya’ funny sometimes

Kinda’ like they want to say

Hey, ya’ stinkin’ knot head

You’re goin’ the wrong derned way

 

They’ll laugh at ya’ and tease ya’

Whenever they think they can

But ya’ know they’ll always be there

Whether ya’ need a swift kick or just a helpin’ hand

 

Old friends ain’t always old

As some folks might expect

Sometimes they’re kinda young

Others, well, they’re oldern’ heck

 

Some friends will come and some will go

But you’ll find out in the end

Old friends are always there with ya’

Through thick, and through thin

 

Old friends they may tend to argue

They may even growl and yell

They may cuss and they may fight

And even put each other through holy hell

 

But they know each other’s heart

No matter how tough or how hard

They understand each other well ya’ see

‘cause they got similar cuts and scars

 

We’re old friends you and me

We’ve been friends for a while

And I expect we always will be

Just so as to meddle each other and smile

 

So if ya’ ever need some help

I’ll be glad to lend a hand

I’ll always try hard to be there

At least I’ll do whatever I can

 

I can run ya’ to the store

Or just go get coffee in a cup

Just climb in this danged old buggy

Sit down, hang on, and shut up
