Fair Weather Friend

Self-explanatory! And a bad taste in the mouth!

By Stanley Collymore

 

Your friendship means the world to me and will remain

unalterably as solid as any friendship could possibly

be, unless of course unwittingly or deliberately

you get yourself into any difficulty that’s

likely to prove uncomfortable

or embarrassing for me;

in which case I reserve the right to unilaterally

change my mind, then either flow with the

tide of those who condemn and despise

you or simply sit uneasily on the

fence of time, waiting for an

outcome before deciding

which way I should

jump, as any self-respecting,

fair-weather friend will do.
