Are you tired of those sugary "mateship" poems with decent intentions, but never actually come close to reality?
Well, here's a collection of promises that actually speak of a true mate.

1. When you are sad - I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the bastard who made you sad.
2. When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile - I will know you finally got laid.
4. When you are scared - I will pay out on you about it every chance I get.
5. When you are worried - I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.
6. When you are confused - I will use little words.
7. When you are sick - Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.
8. When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

Mateship is like pissing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.
