Drum & Beep



How many ends, we have to meet?
How the friends, should I treat?
How to please them, or to greet?
No clear answer!  Should I wait?

My dear reader, tell me please,
Do you have an answer to release?
Or advice helps to breathe,
Free of charges or any fees.  

For some friends, I love to keep,
I've to drum and to beep.
Friendship is not so cheap.
I want to save it not to steep.
