Danke!

All that I want to say -
you may not want to hear...
All that I couldn't say -
now I might, you fear!

When will I get to say it?
If not now, then when?
I doubt there'll be any chance
when you've become old men.

There's such restriction
on even free expression
of gratitude, appreciation,
Openness has died of suffocation!

I will honour you, and not
appreciate you as you insist,
just let me say this -
you've been great,
I couldn't have asked for more!
Your presence did hugely assist!
Staying on has been tough to resist!

Thank you! and you! and you!!
