A Bloody Good Goodbye

Submitted on 11/14/2018 at 2:04AM by webucator
If I could muddle in a puddle with a chocolate kangaroo
Or whittle just a little with a carpenter named Drew
If I could hide my whole body in a ballerina's shoe
Oh, these things would make me happier than an overdue adieu

If I could split a piece of gum with a grinning crocodile
Or stack a prickle of porcupines in one big pointy pile
If could find out what it was that made Mona Lisa smile
Oh these things would make me happier than an I-won't-see-you-for-awhile

If I could ring a ding the doorbell of a tiny tortoise shell
Or meet a merry mammoth and call her mademoiselle
If I could ride a galloping gazelle down a steep and windy stairwell
Oh, these things would make me happier than a finally farewell

Oh, when a goodbye isn't good and lasts much longer than it should
I think of silly verses that will not be understood
And as the rhymes keep rhyming
In this crazy mind of mine
When this goodbye finally goes, it will be oh so bloody good
