The Dude

Floating around the town
Not looking up or down
Whistling a little tune
At night baying at the moon
Chasing the odd skirt now and then
Just a distraction in the end

Such a snappy dresser he was
Never a straight answer just because
And the truth is such a little thing
When to a conversation it will bring
Something unusual he would think
Maybe even bring him to the brink.
