The Inner Circle: Where inside jokes that other people won’t get live
An Ode to Cid
The outer level of inner circle is where most people end their journey
Be it the way of the world, lack of trust, or treachery
Sometimes friendship crashes into enemy
Especially when you make the unfortunate decision
To not present a shrubbery
And God forbid
If when you did
There was not a mongoose within
You will be ejected
Neglected
And the journey would end
But provide the objects of honor and say the words of power
Beware memorization for they change twice an hour
If you can do those things then begins the true quest
To cautiously become a friend you must complete the test
It is not standardized, multiple choice, or essay form
You can try those things
Including answering favorite color and name
But the test is on the curve of loyalty
And ability to weather the storm
Of chaos that is friendship
And I don’t always have to be cleverness and quip
WAFFLES!
Friends love you
Even if all you have to say are breakfast foods
And you can be a genius that fails at the simple things
It matters not to me
In fact I will like you better for your flawed abilities
I mock you, you mock me
You maim my puppet but no hard feelings
(No, Jack I said no hard feelings.
You do not hate him!
Yes, I will get you a peg leg
Yes, for your forgiveness I am sure he will beg
Now can I get back to writing this?
Thank you
Yes, you can a have a cuddle and a kiss… from Cid)
See? Because sometimes friendship is defined by its difficulty
In fact, a cult, is a good way to think
Of that feeling you get when your friend won’t go away
When they are taunting you with puns on your worst day
And your are in no mood for silliness and word play
That is until you think of one of your own
Then the game begins and never ends
And you remember that friendship is home
Deities bless the inner circle
Where so few of us reside
But with tentativeness and an asterisk bless
I will ask this
Will you let me in yours if I let you in mine?
