CAR TALK BROTHERS RETIRING--
MAGLIOZZIS THROW IN WRENCH
--news item
Goodby Tom, goodby Ray,
Sure to miss what you had to say.
Twenty-five years you proved on the phone
Clunkers and Caddies have a funny bone.
Even Willie Loman's creator
Found your shows first-class the-ater.
NPR slaves to the arts
Consistently put you top of the charts.
Your Cambridge garage we loved so well,
The funny patter, even the smell.
Grease monkeys of the highest degree,
Polished in the labs of MIT.
Programs repeated all weekend long,
Perfect lift for anyone's bong.
Good luck Ray, good luck Tom,
Glad to have known you, and salaam.
