Friendship is Groovy

Friendship is groovy
kind of like an Oreo cookie
held together with something sweet.
No top, no bottom,
just depends on how you
twist it, dunk it, lick it, eat it.
Friendship is groovy
kind of like purple bubble gum
snap! Snap! Snap! It goes
all over your face;
you pick it off and chew it again
with an eyelash and a grin.
Friendship is groovy
Kind of like your favorite song
played over and over in your mind.
You think you’re singing in tune
even though you’re not
but it doesn’t matter—
Because you’re singing in sync.
And you know the words,
The tune, the feeling—
You’ve built memories on it.
Friendship is groovy
Kind of like this poem
It’s simple and easy to get
It will never win any contests
because it doesn’t do what it should do
but that’s probably why you like it.
And it will stay with you forever
if you let it.
Friendship is groovy
kind of like an inanimate object.
You can look at it
toss it, bite it, hug it, love it, throw it
and then pick it up again
when you want to
and it’s like you never left it.
That’s groovy friendship.
