I thought you were leaving.

A higher-grade opus has the departed still replying on his own thread. It's like a corpse sitting up in the casket and waving at all his visitors. Or you could compare it to the Groucho Marx classic:

"Hello, I must be going.
I cannot stay,
I came to say
I must be going.
I'm glad I came
but just the same
I must be going.

For my sake you must stay,
for if you go away,
you'll spoil this party
I am throwing.

I'll stay a week or two,
I'll stay the summer through,
but I am telling you,
I must be going."
