Tubby Bye Bye

Farewell, Tinky Winky
You were purple, with a red
Handbag in your tinky hands
And hanger on your head
And you taught a generation
To say 'Uh Oh' to the sky
Tubby Bye Bye Tinky
Tubby Bye

I hated the telly tubbies when my son was little as I thought they encouraged children to speak badly eh oh and all that - arghhhhhhh. I read the sad news of Tinky Winkys demise but had to smile I mean who knew who was actually in those ridiculous costumes lol. Thanks for sharing Gail:-) hugs jan xx

Thank you for the read and the comment, Jan. I was quite snobby about the Tellytubbies but kids loved them, and they were kind of funny and cute. I much preferred the Clangers and The Herbs myself! Best wishes to you x
