A Woodwork Friend

Have you ever known a friend, who a year ago
Wouldn't cross the street to say " Hello"?
These friends think of you as ephemeral.
They come out of the woodwork, if they want you to do something.
You become the flavor of the day, after doing them a favor,
They become a type of bird of prey.
They always say I will see you around.
Tomorrow, the friend will tell someone
That you are a clown.
So when you go home tonight, check your woodwork!
