One picks up one’s friend <br />On major perfection <br />And soon dumps him <br />On miner imperfection. <br />Let him hang in there <br />Long enough so that <br />The good attributes <br />Will have a fighting chance <br />To cancel out the shortcomings <br />And he can overcome dumping. <br />Switching off friend or lover <br />Gives you no more solace. <br />21.08.2008<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/switching-off-friends/
