A Brief Friendship

For those who jump when friendship beckons and seal their pact in miniseconds go from a grump to being happy they've learned that life if it is crappy brings only strife. But wait, what if they do at first cling to the warmth of status quo in an insatiable thirst they sit and watch the union grow. Yet, humans being rather fickle they'll take the tiniest excuse a word, a gesture comes, to tickle and plants the seed (the devil's ruse?) which now creates a plant with leaves developing into a huge and monstrous climber, to the eaves it looks convincingly like Scrooge. No further sign is now required the catchcry now is condemnation a fleeting friendship has grown tired all faith, a product of inflation.
