Altitude Adjustment Don’t you dare talk down to me With your delusions of grandiosity. Your haughty air of pomposity, Droning, negative, monotony. No longer can you manipulate, Embarrass, degrade or humiliate. Ridicule, or scornfully negate The value of feelings we communicate Erudite though you strive to appear, You impress absolutely not one person here. Your ego serves merely to interfere With the values of friendship we hold dear. Now, that being said, let me hasten to add, If you alter your “altitude” , we will be glad To welcome you back, for it would be sad To lose the friend we thought we had. ©Sharon Langan |
