I'm feeling sad and blue
I expect you all are too
We've had enough
Of this Covid stuff
It's time to say toodle-oo...

Words escape me, Away they go,
Where they go to, I don't know.
Flying off to pastures new
Until they are completely out of view....

There once was an emigrant from Peru
Who couldn't master the art of kazoo---
  It got stuck in his gums
  He poured in some rum---
And now he can play 'Toodle-oo.'...

Got a question why did summer vamoose
It just started now we're waving toodle loo
It just ain't right
It's taken flight
Whomever's in charge, you're full of poop...

Hello
Welcome, warm
Greeting, saluting, hailing
Salutation, address; farewell, toodle-loo
Parting, tearing, leave-taking
Sad, departure
Goodbye

Blizzards!, My Gizzards!, 

This Blustering Bloke,

 Keeps Mustering Mayhems With Words That He Spoke,

 Great Snakes!, Eureka! and Holy Cow! Too, 

Crimey! and Gadzooks! and A Tempestuous Toodle-Doo!,

 Shazam! and Golly Willikers! with a Pinch of Vamoose!

 Scram!, Gosh Damn!, and a Final Sacre Bleu!...

Accomplishing something plenty you got
Captured as a whole in your life snapshot
Takes after a Kodak moment caught

On the screen, pictures flicker a·do
Everyone smiling, life happenings in view
Great im·ag·ings, moments in time, toodle-oo

Are creations from the moment shows
If tis' not develop 'n compose
Give it again, one's best shot dose...

I love you.  
I certainly do.
You are great.
A 10 you do rate.
I am as proud as punch
You're as tasty as lunch.
Oh, no, I have not actively been avoiding you.
That is nothing that I would ever consciously do.
It's a lovely chat, thanks ever so.
Now I truly have to car and go.
A toodle dee dumb, and toodle dee dee.
You will never see the genuine me....

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....

My messy pouch was now full of goo
I was not happy between me and you
I looked inside and felt quite blue.
You have to go, Honey, indeed you do!

But I am merely twenty-two!
Argued my son, the kangaroo
What kind of life would I have boo?
If I left my sweet mother at twenty-two?

Come on I urged. I was forceful too.
You need to put on clothes and maybe woo
A female who could start a family with you.
It’s time to go, so Toodle-loo, my baby Kangaroo....
