Oh, what are friends for

Oh

What are friends for

But to shield you—

And your lack of adulty

Know too much

(Or way too little!)—

From monster jellyfish

(Oh you go on ahead

I’ll swim right behind you!)

And stinging

Pinching creatures below

But usually sharpish shells

(Okay even smooth ones do it!)

That my imagination

Has turned into

Deadly creatures

Lurking beneath!!!

I keep

Most of my friendships

For days like this

But at least I’m honest

I’m trying to think

Of the worst thing that’s happened

To any of my friends

I’ve thrown under the bus

(The bus just kind of took her

Thankfully she crossed the street first

After I said

Go on first

And I’ll follow you!)

But all I can think about

Is myself

And

Well

Who thinks of others

If only it has to do

With self preservation?

Oh what are friends for

But to promise

Just let me know

And I’ll pick up your kid

If you ever have an emergency

But never really mean it

It’s just a Sentiment!

Don’t ever really ask me

I don’t have enough seats in my car

Like saying

Oh I meant to send a gift

But you get this text instead

Promising

I have been thinking of you!!!

But we all know

I’m only thinking of myself

Oh what are friends for

I just want to swim in the ocean

With my friend Britt

Until a creature takes her first

Then maybe

You and I

Will conveniently find time

To finally get together!
