Mr Dudley

As I was halfway through my flight and half asleep,
I began to dream about an elderly gentleman sitting
next to me.  In the dream, after saying his name was
Dudley, he started telling a story about his early life
romance and enduring marriage. What amounted to
a dream about a dream, Mr. Dudley's story upended
my sleep and with

BORN ANEW

When Spring comes again
not the warmth..nor the rain
not the yellow ..nor the green
not the grass or verdant scene;
not the winds or blossom bright
not the showers or more daylight;
but hearing creation's new birth
shouted aloud in sky and earth.

Format inspired by a Tim Dudley-Smith hymn

Dudley Do-Right

There once was a Mounty named Dudley;
villain, Snidely Whiplash, was ugly.
Dudley would save Nell
from Snidely's dark spell,
then she and his horse would get snuggly!

Dudley Bee

Dudley Bee, bounced around through the town. Smelling grand, whiskey wet, no regret. Only pissing on the tree. His remorse, buried deep within, codgers bin, his only sin, he never wanted to be. Dudley fast, when he was asked, How did you come to be? answer buried deep within, Wanting gin, Dudley could never see.

A Dude Named Dudley

There once was a dude named Dudley
By all accounts he was quite ugly
As hard as he tried
He put makeup on his eyes
He still wasn't sweet and sure wasn't cuddly

Dudley Do Wrong

Please forget me.
Please move on.
Don't remember me
when you've gone.

Loose my number.
Loose my Address.
You walked her way
you know the rest.

Now you are gone
and I am free.
Now a better life I'll see.
Please don't come back for me.

You are now something I don't need.
You are yesterday's news
and tomorrow's trash.
Thank the dear Lord 
I don't live in the past.

Dudley

Dudley, one legged, is not the same man
Who taught me, when young, to spin gigs
Like calypso songs from a rum glass pouring
Is not the same man whose bat hoisted balls
Above the starapple tree's purple top and win
At cricket like my father's Bonnie Blue flag
That no other horse could beat. Dudley has one
Leg but he is

Dudley (Another Milestone of Flanker's Past)

What made you turned from church
Like a derrick through the sky
Finding the unintended wall?
I did not see the bottle in your parents hand
It was a sober home I believe
And we shoeless then
Longed to walk in your shoes before
Perhaps to pass through your grocery story
When hunger was pass the zenith of the sun
Perhaps enter our own

Ah Dudley

Dudley, how did you bat today?
Did you hit the wooden ball with rubber wrapped
Over the starapple tree and far away?
Did you ride your bicycle past Knoxwood gate
Smell the cashew blossom and think of me?
Ah Dudley, what did you do today?

Did you cut sticks in the coffee orchard
And make as old the Calaban?
Did you go seven
