Toodle-Loo Bye-Bye

“Okay then, alright then, toodle-loo, bye-bye!” Sure love to hear that again My first wife would end each phone conversation With this familiar old refrain Once uttering these words of sheer finality It was over, finis, a done deal Even though their words are heard trailing off Time's up, no chance to repeal Was definitely over when this sweet lady quoted These charming memorable words Am I dreaming or did I actually just hear them again Can't be true, that's totally absurd! “Okay then, alright then, toodle-loo, bye-bye!” Love to hear those words again Life has moved on but love to hear them once more That familiar sweet old refrain

Sounds so light-hearted, fun and positively pleasant, Jack! (I think I can hear them too. And if I can, all the more so can you!)

Interesting how these little, simple, routine things take on more significant meaning when they are gone.
