If You Wanna Make a Friend
If you wanna make a friend
You gotta make an effort
You can't just sit around all day
Say bugger and 'aw f----- it
You gotta be proactive
Be first cab off the rank
You can't sit on your backside to
Increase you're friendship bank

Like it Don. I think what Hannah says is probably true. But also you are never to old to make friends. I value my friends of all ages often forgetting I'm no longer nineteen anymore. But I think that helps

You've got to be a friend, to get a friend.
I think.

I recall the words of an old (literally) friend of many years
who was fond of observing that as the years passed so it could become more difficult to make friends. Obviously,
there are assorted reasons for this and the situation is
increasingly recognised in "official" ways via the frequent
exhortations to "join up" with various organisations and
their interests - directed at those who feel the need most
keenly when friends made in youth (invariably the most
important for many folk but sadly depleted by the passing
years) are no longer in one's life.
Anyway, I applaud these lines - to the point and "on the up".
Cheers.
Brian - yes, there often is a serious message behind my apparent flippancy. You have to make an effort to seek out new friends. They don't always fall into your lap.
D?

Don - the serious message here is that there are a lot of lonely people or people who need some sort of outlet away from their partner. Opportunities do not often come to you...you have to seek them out. I personally have pulled together a group of eight retired/ early retired blokes who play pool, bowls, pub walks, pub bike rides etc. We went to the races recently. Etc. All of us are grateful for the opportunities it gives us.
