You and Me is Friends
What can we say about friends? They are always there for us even after we go long-winded on a topic…or after listening to them having gone off on a long-winded tangent…themselves. Friends are great. Some people you meet are just automatically your friend. While others you meet are probably lucky to have any friends…Ha! Anyways…there have been a few songs and many TV shows that have used this topic…So… why not do a little Poetry “ditty” on this topic?! Well…here is a close introspection of “Friends”…on the Entertaining side. (Or at least I hope it’s “Entertaining”.)
You and Me is Friends:
We are friends for sure… through and through…
You make me laugh…when I don’t know what to do.
I may complain about the weather…and not having any rain…
You may complain about your back…and that you’re in a lot of pain.
But whether the weather be gray and cloudy…or hot and sunny…
I can always count on you to say something stupid or funny.
Yeah…you’re a good friend…
Ain’t no use in trying to deny it or pretend.
A friend like you ain’t afraid to tell me “What’s What!’…
A friend like me ain’t afraid to tell you to “Kiss my B_tt!”…
A friend like you ain’t afraid to tell me when to “Shut it Up!”…
A friend like me ain’t afraid to tell you when “Enough is Enough!”
You know what the old saying is…”That’s what friends are for!”
They ain’t always tactful…but are always there to help you off the floor.
You and Me… we’ve been through some crazy periods of our lives together…
You and Me… can say the same old jokes…they just keep gettin’ better.
We can see each other every now…and again…
Or possibly for months…and months…and you’d still be my friend.
Many times…we communicate with a couple of text responses on the fact that we are kind’a busy…
And one of us will say that’s all I got time for now…days are flying by so fast…I’m getting a little dizzy.
But that never seems to matter to you… You are always a good friend…
I don’t always have to think of something clever on a text reply…before I hit “SEND”.
It could be the dumbest thing I’ve come up with on a “REPLY”… to this day…
But you laugh it off…and don’t let the stupid things I may say…get in the way.
Yep…that right there…is the definition of a true friend…
Someone that never lets you down…Someone on whom…you can depend.
I… Pretty Much…can only try to be a good friend everyday…sometimes it seems like work…
You make it look so effortless…even when you make a “SLAM”…you never appear like a jerk.
So there you go: “You and Me is Friends…Me and You”…
‘Bout Time…for me to wind this topic down and be through…
There ain’t much more that I can add to this thing…or do…
Before you’d change the Topic anyways…”You know it’s true!”
Because you always take yourself…so serious…
And… many times it makes me…almost delirious.
Everything always has to be about you…you…you…all the time…
Good thing we’re friends…Cuz’ “You ’bout to make me lose my Mind!
By the way…you can get the “last word” in next time…
‘Bout damn time…you stopped talking and I was able to get a word in…(in rhyme).
But for now…My Friend…it is truly time… that we bring this topic to an “End”…
Glad…even though you make me mad…that when it comes to “You and Me”…
You’re still my “Friend!”

Please Note: Going for a quick laugh or even a smirk. (Maybe even enough to help lighten your day!) I had to make this one on “Friends” have a few twists and turns to it. Have a good one, Friend! I hope I can call you that after this little “ditty” on “Friends”?
Thanks for reading!
Enough of that intro. It is really great to be writing here on: "The Creative Exiles". I am lining up some of my best writings for this website. Going to "Bring-it" with a variety of "Poetic-able" Topics. So just kick back and enjoy some of the Poetry I send out to you. It’s all for “Entertainment” purposes only…so all you will have to do is read and enjoy my writings.
And, I really hope you do!
Now, it is time for me to go and write in a "Poet-icized" manner like those long ago “Men of Old” Poets would’ve once long ago done it. They have primarily inspired me to write Poems in a manner that is “Manly” like how they use to write Poetry.
Please stay tuned for more of my Poetry works.
Best and Humble Regards, Steve Walters
