Sold Out
This brand new friend poem comes in the form of a job advert for the perfect pal. Skills, salary, hours, and bonus all described!
Our witty and joyful best friend print makes the perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, bridesmaids and thank yous. It is also suitable as a group gift like a hen 'do'.
The poem is actually a 14 line sonnet. It was written by award-winning Bespoke Verse poet (and Oxford graduate!) Joanna Miller, whose framed poems have featured in magazines such as 'VOGUE' and 'Easy Living.'
Whether it's the bonus of good advice or the lifelong satisfaction friendship brings, everyone will recognise the special bond that the 'The Best Friend Advert' describes.
The text reads:
The Best Friend Advert
Seeking caring candidate who thrives on interaction
To undertake a special role with lifelong satisfaction.
Skills required for this post: loyalty and discretion
The ability to laugh a lot and listen to confession.
This role would suit a counsellor, a match maker or host
A wine or chocolate lover might perform well in this post.
Experience is valuable (but not as much as trust)
Willingness to socialise and empathise a must.
There may be opportunities for travelling and shopping
For gossiping and giggling and possibly for bopping.
The salary is judgement free, the bonus is advice
The hands on help is statutory, (the benefits are nice).
Though meetings may be limited by distance or by chores
No application necessary, the job’s already yours.

The wording of the poem is:
A Letter to Mum
To my wonderful Mum
I have to say sorry
For the teenage tantrums
And all of the worry
For all the times
I answered you back
Sulked and protested
And veered off the track.
Thanks for forgiving,
(Just one of your gifts)
For the listening ear
The advice and the lifts
Your unquestioning love
Your caring devotion
The hugs and support
At times of commotion.
You told me the truth
Yet let me be me
And helped me to find
Who I wanted to be.
You shaped me and gave me
All that you had
Stayed by my side
In good times and bad.
So thank you for showing
What parents should be
With all of my love Mum
Forever - from me.

A Letter to Mummy
To my wonderful Mummy
I just have to say,
I think you are perfect
In every way.
You work so hard
To give me the best
With you on my side
I feel truly blessed.
Thanks for the kisses,
The stories, the fun
For keeping me safe
And being my mum.
I want to say sorry
For the mess that I make
For the noise and the tantrums,
The things that I break.
For all of the times
I wake you at night,
For when I am ill
And it gives you a fright!
But I need you and love you
And if there’s a muddle
I know you are there
With your voice and your cuddle.
So thank you for showing
What mothers should be
With love dearest Mummy
Forever… From me.
