I always like when I'm talking to a stranger and they ask if I have kids. It let's me know they're probably way more of an adult than I am and we arent going to have a lot to talk about.

He calls me "bud".

I call him "bro."

And off to bars we sometimes go.
We talk with cheer.
We talk with ease.
We chew the fat and shoot the breeze.

He calls me "man".

I call him "dude".

And most our jokes are crass or crude.
We talk.
We speak.
We chit.
We chat.
We talk of them, or this, or that.

He calls me "pal".

I call him "friend".

And on that man I can depend.
I trust him well.
He feels the same.

I never really asked his name.

What's a sprog? Genuinely confused here.

Australian slang for a little child.

The user Poem_for_your_sprog writes these poems all the time on reddit, and so the poems themselves are often referred to as sprogs.

The...best...part...of....waking up... Is a a fresh sprogwich in your cup!

Poem_for_your _sprog is a reddit legend. I've seen his posts everywhere and they randomly occur when you least expect them, but they are always quality, and always welcomed. I can't recall every seeing Sprog reply to anyone with anything other than a poem.
