Facebook Friends?
Crazy new way to meet people
On the WWW
Friends of friends
Relatives of relatives
Pictures and stories
Never would have known them
Without Facebook
But seriously a mixed bag
All friends come with baggage
Some religious, some political, some with advice
Periodically strangled
With unwanted beliefs or advice
Just block them
But then discovered
50% of my heretofore friends
Possessed opposite beliefs of mine
Can’t live with that or them
And yet bubbling up
From the inconsistencies of politics, religion and advice
Is the very old adage
“A friend in need is a friend indeed ”
And I really do need you
