Met one of my friend yesterday
She was talking to me all through the day.
Telling me of her experiences good and bitter
where the worst exceeded the better
feeling sad for what has gone through
she felt totally let out true.
Having gone through such periods
she could not resist any more tedious
as she has suffered very greatly
with people pulling her down unexpectedly
desperate she sounded and angry she was
knew not how to console her as she saw a loss.
A year ago she asked a reference
being a close relative of mine in defence
I could not spill out the beans
but told her in subtle means
which she never took it serious
finally it turned sour and ominous.
Yesterday she told me the tale of woe
felt sorry for having taken my words so low
said that the relative behaved so badly
being very cheap and miserly.
and she also incurred monetary shortfall
which remains unclaimed in a call
