Please Hold the Applause

Please hold the applause until the end, the commencement director said.
Some families could not do it.
When their child received his or her diploma they went nuts
Yelling and screaming like wild dogs, frenzied and excited.
I am happy to report I am from one of those families.

I know you were not saying "Not HER family!" when you read this. I would love to see the theys and thems trying to control us.
