Once
I had a bajillion friends, till
It slowly came to light that
My friends were all broken
I cast them aside one by one and
Vowed to find new friends
Friends without flaws
Or cracks
Unbroken friends
Friends who were worthy
Unpugnacious friends
Friends lacking relentless bellicosity
Friends who do not play accordions
Or banjos
Friends who are not always flat broke, busted, looking to borrow money
I have a dog around here somewhere

Is this one of your siesta sonnets? 😉
I enjoyed the simple gentility and flow, and then the unexpected quip at the end…Made me laugh!

Siesta Sonnet is a spectacular turn of phrase.I might start using it, if you don’t mind.
I just fired the kiln so I have some time to read and write, I hope.I have lots of catching up to do.

Yes, perfection can be hard to find. A dog is a fine choice. They are all perfect, from nose to tail.

Charming! I’d stick with a dog since your current friends sound like rats.
