Does friendship have an expiration date?

Expiration

by Koye Lott

Drink me when I'm fresh

and refrigerate after opening...

my shelf life is not that long

Eat me while I'm crispy

for when my bag is left open

I lose flavor....

Cook me until I'm done...

in the raw I'm too much to handle

overcooked I'm to tough

Season me with your grace

your love

and a pinch of understanding...

Friendship should be served

under glass....

    Nah, friendship does not have an expiration date... Sure, we misplace them every once in a while but we'll find them... eventually...

    WOW! I didn't know there was an expiration date for friendship. I wonder if my best friend of 25 YEARS knows this. I'll have to ask her about it. 1) Occasional buddies are "acquaintances", not friends. 2) Friendship does not have an expiration date. If it does, then it's above the 25 year mark and I haven't seen the date yet. 3) If you believe that there's no such thing as a true friend, then obviously, you haven't found one yet. And I am sorry about that.

    My commitment as a friend is as long as I live.

    But lend someone money, and they test it.

    That ball of wax is strange. If you're a friend, lend money, and are compassionate and understanding, what's the problem? The borrower should feel free enough to ask for an extension on time. Say nothing, and it can be hard on a friendship.

    But I digress..

    You nailed it with your words.

    I like how Yidiot said it too. ...if it smells bad...

    Fine extended metaphor here Semper but L9 should read "overcooked I'm TOO tough" instead. Otherwise, leave it as it is because it is a well-written piece.

    I once made hamburger helper for my whole family with expired milk.

    I felt kinda bad.

    Twinkies have a long shelf-life.

    Many friendships seem to have an expiration date.

    I prefer "no expiration".

    awww such a clever and well-thought out poem xD

    friendship may have an expiration date, depends on the type of "food"

    i will give a heaping dose of understanding when needed!

    Friendship does not end--sometimes it does fade away when not nurtured...

    nice write Koye!
