Radical, Fanatical And Mathematical Poem by Brian Hairbottle

A friend should be Radical
they should love you when you're unlovable,
hug you when you're unhuggable,
and bear you when you're unbearable.

A friend should be Fanatical
they should cheer when the whole world boo's,
dance when you get good news and cry when you cry too.

But most of all,
A friend should be Mathematical
they should multiply the joy
divide the sorrow
subtract the past and add to tomorrow,
calculate the need deep in your heart
and always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.
