Friendships are like plays

Friendships are like plays.

In some scenes you have most of the lines.

In some scenes you don’t have any at all.

 

Sometimes you wait in the wings for your next entry,

Then again you might wait backstage for the curtain call.

At other times, your part is done only a few minutes in.

 

Often when I go home after the first half, I wonder

What would happen if I started to extemporise.
