The definition of Friendship, May 12, 1998
This review is from: The Poetry of Friendship (Miniature Editions Pop-Up Books) (Hardcover)
If you are having trouble understanding the meaning of friendship,you should read this book.When I first saw this book I thought,"Is a book this small worth reading?"But as the old saying goes,Don't judge a book by it's cover.Besides having some beautiful pop-up pictures,this book has some really interesting poems.For example,this poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson:"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."When I read this poem,memories of A.A.U summer basketball came flooding into my head.I remember on one occasion,about three of my friends and I had just finished enhaling about two Big Macs each.Since we were in a mall that had carousels,we decided to ride one. Now at the time we didn't realize how stupid that idea was going to be later.We all climbed onto our multi-colored horses and begin our journey into the world of sickness.After spinning around in circles about 20 times,we decided to get off.As soon as we got off,one by one we raced to the nearest bathroom and unloaded our lunches into the toilets.Afterwards, we all agreed that riding a carousel after lunch wasn't the greatest of ideas,BUT...at least we had fun.
