I like the Headline CU You are on the way to a great song.

Pooka Pooka What was poor Bobby smokin'?

I remember Liam Clancy speaking that rhyme on an old Tape I had. Was it the introduction to The Cobbler?

CapriUni, Yeah its in the dictionary but when is the last time you heard it in a sentence? I've heard it a couple of times in my life and always thought cool.... they're not talking about the moon. Alas, I really believe it is a dying word. But maybe we could change that. If everyone on the Mudcat used it once a week, in public for a year. I bet it would come back into usage. Maybe even included in an add slogan.
