Fair-Weather Friends
I took a jab at limerick, a five-line rhyme made up of inappropriate subjects that has been treated irrelevantly.
Fair-weather friends. Are your friends really your friends?
[I want to take a moment to comment that my writings are not biographical. They can be inspired from stories -- fictional or told by ear, word-of-mouth, or completely fabricated from my imagination. I also want to note that those who are old-fashioned or too conservative for my poems should just deal with it. Women's bodies and sexuality was addressed since the 1960s and there is no way this should be discomfort for some readers in the year 2018. Alongside Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, Women's Liberation movement came about fiercely, with women burning their bras as their protest. Women's Liberation movement dates back to 1960s, Second-Wave Feminist movement occurred in the 1970s. In literature, arts, music, gender and sexuality has been widely addressed. In the 1980s, they tried to pass Equal Rights Amendment in 1984 but without success. Feminist art works dates back to 1980s and women's bodies, our sexuality and gender has long been addressed and should not be an outrage or embarrassment. If you see it that way, you are outdated. Even in contemporary Pop music today, Madonna pushed the boundaries few decades past with Justify My Love and several years back, Britney Spears wrote about female genitalia and pleasure -- she mentioned this at her Diane Sawyer interview. However, from now on, if gender or sexuality is mentioned, I will put a PG-13 warning before the writing.]

Fair-Weather Friends
When things are up and well,
They come to ring my bell,
My fair-weather friends come to my dwell,
Ride along as they can,
The better for more gains,
Only when things are up, my dwell swells.
