"Friend or sFOe!"

Who is your friend and who is your
foe?
One really cannot tell
For they seem quite the same to you,
When all is going well,
AS soon as one gets down and out,
Most folks will disappear
But when the pocket purse is full,
You'll always find them near.
''The friends in need, are friends in
deed,''
How true those dear words seem,
There may be one you thought true
blue,
But that was just a dream.
True friends will stick through thick
and thin
Without or with the dough-"
You'll never have to wonder if
He is your friend or foe!
Composed by Thelma Spicer
