“There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends”
Sylvia Plath – The Bell Jar
bare knees on cobblestones examining
our gutter exhibition flowing down
when dinner’s lost, we’re panicking
in new-found friendship of this town
with clammy brows we’re joined like bro’s
when lobster’s stale and oyster’s bad
that’s just how our friendship grows
and for some extra bourbon I’m so glad
I’ll start a place for poison food
and soon we all be happy friends
come eat and puke some mushroom stew
and I will drive Mercedes Benz
A second entry based on a quote for Mary’s prompt at dVerse. This time on the humorous side.

hahaha – now that’s a way of making friends that surely is a bit out of the norm – though it’s not bad when someone has seen you like that – nothing can shock them quickly any more then – ha
I love that quote.. and I just read the Bell Jar… and I think it’s to the point.
not too many of those i used to puke with still around…ha…we they are but we live worlds apart…probably better for my health that way…just saying…mmm…imagining the aftertaste of mushroom stew the second time…
Yes.. that would be something.. 🙂
Yes the quote says OLD friends,.
There, you see?
It’s easy, really. Once you start, you can’t stop rhyming. 🙂
Keep the food down though .
Indeed.. easy it is 🙂
Ha, this made me smile! I must say, however, I have never puked with friends. LOL.
Imagine what you might have missed 🙂
This is a hoot! Don’t think I’ll be dining at your establishment, though. Or investing in it.
🙂
😀 😀 😀
I wonder what such friends would say to each other if they met again years later. Thanks for the good laugh!
Oh goodness, ha..ha… this is some start to a great friendship ~ Love the post & quote anyway 🙂
One form of bonding I havent yet enjoyed, hee hee. This made me smile.
I would much prefer to find another avenue for becoming fast friends…the shared expulsion of stomach contents is really not up my alley.
puking is a sure way to find out who your friends are . . .
Well..there is another end of the story with a friend of mine at beach bar..and something i ate..with gastric disturbance..exploding as such..no more details necessary..the wordy possible scenario…
And my friend just laughed..smiled and said..oh sh88 with a few funny expletives added in for good measure as such…
At that point i too..
realized..now..that’s a real friend….
They no longer exist for me..
in REAL LIFE..
But i will try in real life..
to find one again…
Never giving up..seeking that gold
of friendship as such…
treasure IT IS!
Bjorn, Very humorous but I think I’ll find other ways to make friends. 🙂 —Susan
o my…lol..
Once or twice… but not in a mercedes benz!
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger ? 🙂
Yes, there must be easier ways!
Haha. Really. Funny 🙂
Very good. Like ‘our gutter exhibition’. But if this is the way to make them, I’m happy to stick to having only a few friends.
