Friendship As You Know

Friendship as you know can be a fickle thing Though the praises of it many are known to sing Where friendship once was bitterness sometimes grow To that you may add tell us something we don't know The one who was your friend money to you owe You ask him to pay you back his answer is no Your once loyal buddy has become your foe The seeds of mistrust money often does sow, Your acquaintances many and your friends are so few Yet here again I'm not saying anything that is new Your friend you will know in your time of need For such a friend surely is a friend indeed 'Tis when the hire purchase company re-possess your car That you come to know who your friends really are.
