Where Are You

Where’s the funny man gone to,
That made me laugh a lot?
Who shared his sensitive side,
And kept the soup hot.

A comical heart stop posting,
I yearn to have a great laugh.
I speak for many people,
On my sincere...behalf. 

I miss everything about you,
I wish you’d return to the soup.
Without your funny posts,
I feel way out of the loop.
 
Where’s he been hiding?
I miss his comments too.
I just want to know,
Michael Torres, where are you?

I have pondered the same question. He had great work and then he disappeared, I hope he returns and good luck with it in the contest.
