Hey, you, come back.
Come back now.
Are you back yet?
What? No?
Well, goodbye.
Well, then, hi.
Oh, good, you are back.
That almost made me hack.
This, as far as I know, is the first poem I ever wrote. The quality of my poetry has not increased significantly in the last 30 years, which is why I am not a poet. I'm almost definitely 7 or 8 here.
I actually remembered this poem differently all these years until finding it again recently. I remembered the line "What? No?" As "No, I bet." It fits better, so, like most things from my childhood, I remember it being much cooler than reality.
In fact, I'm wondering now if I never even meant for it to be a poem.
At any rate, now you know you can greet people, "oh good, you are back. That almost made me hack."
