Welcome back
you were away too long,
the one who took
your place did not belong.
he was too open
with his emotions
and we were all afraid
he would cause a commotion.
When he began
to tell us how he was
someone had to interrupt
to give us pause.
It is great to see
you are back to normal
let us all get together
and plan something informal
to celebrate
you are back to your best
and all you needed
was some pills and a rest.
We no longer have to worry
about you being an embarrassment
now you have accepted
your opinions are irrelevant.
