Embarrassment

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.
