Remembering Tom Magliozzi

The Click of “Click and Clack” is gone.
Tom Magliozzi has passed on.
His cackling laugh and car advice
are but a memory.

Tom and his younger sibling Ray
brought color to a realm of gray.
The mundane world of car repair
became a sheer delight.

These NPR mechanics knew
that talking cars is fun when you
share stories, jokes and trivia
along with fix-it facts.

The Tappet Brothers were like kin
and every weekend we’d check in.
Like next door neighbors, Tom and Ray
were there to help us out.

We hoped both guys would always stay,
but then last week Tom moved away.
Quite sadly Clack has lost his Click
and we have lost a friend.
