Are you tired of those sissy 'friendship' poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality?

Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on these, just the stone cold truth of great friendship: 1. When you are sad ...I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad. 2. When you are blue ...I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you. 3. When you smile ...I will know you finally got laid. 4. When you are scared ...I will rag on you about it every chance I get. 5. When you are worried ...I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining. 6. When you are confused ...I will use little words. 7. When you are sick ...Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have. 8. When you fall ...I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass. This is my oath; I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask; 'because you are my friend.' And always remember: when life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over!

Just to 'p' you off Margaret..... True friendship is a joyous thing, It lives throughout the hours, A friendless life would be so drear, Like gardens without flowers..... ...feeling sick yet??.......x

That's pretty close to the truth about real friendship. It suggests the honesty and non-judgemental nature of a real friendship.
