Yodel-Lei-Hee-You

I trapped my yodel to you, in a conch shell Then threw it in an ivory well Yodel-lei-hee-you, what-did-I-do? I made a wish to get it out But the un-wishing well had no doubt That in its arms, was where it should stay With the rest of the shells I’ve yodeled away I-keep-missing-you, yodel-lei-boo-hoo I should be thankful an echo hasn’t escaped - I can imagine the smirk it would put on your face And I won’t give you that smug satisfaction When all this is, is a delayed reaction Yodel-lei-hee-smirk, you’re-a-cheating-jerk Soon I’ll stop yodeling for you, and when I do, I’ll seal the well of yodel-lei-hee-hell, and reinstitute Forgetting you - yodel-lei-hee-who? 7/20/11 For "Sounds of a Cry" contest

I loved this Susan. It really made me smile. What a clever way to say, "Don't go away mad, just go away." A good read. ;) God Bless, JB
