The Mean Girl(friend)

No ridicule allowed?
What cloud
have you been living under?
You always make me
laugh out loud –
Let no man put asunder
your penchant for
amusing me with
blunder after blunder.
It’s true. Quite true.
Without you,
I’d be bored
as bored can be.
All jokes must have
a butt, my dear,
and you’re the one
for me!
So sorry if that stings.
(heehee)
