The Thin Line

There’s a thin line you never cross with friends
Even in your support of them till the end
The boundaries are set from the start
Even unsaid you’ll know them in your heart

Certain things you just don’t do
So much you would have to lose
Be careful what you do and say
This is not a game to play

The same goes with family but differently
For the have a set of rules from these that be
You just have to be careful where you tread
A minefield of chaos may indeed spread

When it comes to money, the route of human worry
A fine line between borrowing and taking, is itself a story
To borrow is to give back as and when need be
Not to avoid that person and to bleed her and he

Taking those is a different kettle of fish
For a person may treat you to more than one dish
But more than once can be unfair
Into double figures, this person you don’t care

So whilst this can go into hundreds or thousands
Never bite the feeder with their kindly hands
For the gift horse can have a nasty bite
Make sure you do by them what’s right
