“Bredrens & Sistrens:” A Clafe Poem On Friendship
By @SafeClafe
Wif all of de madness in Bermy today,
Itz easy 2 pout n be filled wif dismay,
But um got 2 say at the risk of cliche:
Yah bredrens & sistrens will show u de way.
No mattah yah problems or wut yah been through,
yah bredrens & sistrens will B thurr 4 you,
If dis sounds confusing or out of de blue,
Here R sum examples of wut they would do:
A bredren will find u sum medical care
wheneva u fall down a GURT set of stairs,
he’ll wait 4 de ambulance, strokin’ ya hair,
then peel n’ puree you a prickly pear!
A sistren is someone wif love 2 devote
wheyn u get attacked by a mutated goat,
No matter de distrance, howeva remote,
She’ll rush up St. Davids n punch yaboy’s throat!
A bredren will feed u artisanal cheese
each tiyme u contract a horrendous disease,
and right wheyn yah fever’s 300 degrees,
he’ll gank a small piece an say “CHA, WHAT A GREAZE!”
A sistren is honest wheyn u are unclean
n won’t pull no punchez about yah hygeine,
So if U R Crusty an don’t change ya jeans,
She’ll force-feed u into a washin machine!
A bredren looks out 4 u wheyn u get juiced,
(and thereby enablez yah substance abuse)
if u get so drunk dat u think ur name’s “Bruce”,
he’ll find u a gyal-dem that u can seduce!
A sistren will tell u if u have mug shoez
or blannd sense a dress like a Orthodox Jew’s,
She’ll recccommend beauty tipz, lend u shampoos,
n tell u which birth control not 2 reuse!
A mate is a “bredren”, a bredren’s a “dun”,
A sistren’s a “gyal dem” (some gyam-dems are nuns),
A buddy’s a “shotta”, as close as a son
True friendship iz measured in pure metric tonnez.
De thing about bedrens n sistrens is this:
They’ll stick wif u whetha ya tired or criss,
A “tap” or a hanshake, a hug Or a kiss,
Yah friends R de 1 real true source of bliss.
