Pip Pip Goodbye

If you want to give people the slip In England, years ago, you'd say, I'm off. Toodle Pip, If you are with a mate With whom you are in tune Toodle OO old chum I'll be seeing you soon Ta Ta, for now Or TTFN I'll probably see you again, I don't know why I wrote this verse It made me feel quite sad and terse The French say the romantic au revoir It rolls off the tongue It's the best Ta Ta I've heard so far.

Are you English, Dilly Dally? I smiled when I read your name; it reminded me of that old song; my old man said follow the band and don't Dilly Dally on the way. Thanks for commenting on my silly poem. It was lovely to hear from you. Take care, Shirley

Thank you, Deb I didn't have a clue what to write when I sat down. Scraping the barrel a bit. Take care, Shirley

It's the same with Italian: arrivederci. In Maltese, we lost our language which meant "health". Now it's a simple ciao which means goodbye. Short and sweet.
