Weekend Warriors

April 8, 2024
By Anonymous

There once was a friend who'd pretend,

To be true till the very end.

But when I sought to meet,

They skipped on fleet feet,

Their loyalty just a weekend trend.

This limerick shows the moment of discovering a friend's fickleness humorously and succinctly. It plays on the expectation of enduring friendship, only to reveal the reality of a commitment that lasts no longer than a weekend.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
