GOOD BY GOODBYE

by John Osebold

Good By Goodbye

I watch you disappear
Into the distance
Like a great-winged bird
Or any other thing really
That is in the distance

We want to say goodbye
But cannot bear to
For we skipped bear class
And now suffer the consequences
Of skipping bear class

But fear not
For in time we shall meet again
Perhaps here or there
Or in the distance
Or in another bear class

So instead of goodbye
We shall say "good by goodbye"
Which sounds exactly the same as 'goodbye' twice
And what does it mean anyway
So we are still sad

Oh well
Good by goodbye
