A Friend Should Be Radical

A friend should be Radical,
Fanatical,
and Most of All,
Mathematical!!


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 boos,
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 the parts.
