Friends of Friends

When you spend the night with friends of friends,
Your comfort level rises,
Because you have a common link
And there are no surprises.

The friends with whom you share this bond,
Like Velcro or like glue,
Provide the means for other folk
To stick so well to you.

It’s wonderful to have such pals,
‘Cause other friends they share
Are often just the ones for whom
Their stories they prepare.

And then you have a common ground
On which to sow and reap,
Connecting you both on the surface
And below, down deep.

An evening spent in company
Of friends and friends of friends
Is likely one so pleasant
That you hope it never ends.
