MR. WAKELING
There’s a famous David in the Bible and there’s a house known by his name and another David in the Dickens fiction of Copperfield acclaim
That British bloke Beckham, really liked to bend it. And that David landed nice when he married into spice
A musical Bowie had genius to contend with, a David, whose Fame and Under Pressure turned Avante Garde Superstar, precise
There’s David’s Bing and Cowens and Thompson, who ruled the whole 94 feet of floor and
David, the D in Dwight D who’s D-Day plan won the greatest war
O Selznick producing Scarlett and Rhett surely was a given
In style and class so purely was, actor David Niven
David Ruffin who sang My Girl , he had sunshine on a cloudy day and Hasselhoff, the David, who chased The Baywatch babe, CJ
David Schwimmer had that Rachel dream, and David Souter was a judge supreme
David Ogden Stiers joked in Mash the most
David Letterman the consumate late night host, but wait and please take time to note
Amongst our crew at MPS poet David is the best, with Wakeling as his surname his poems belong in the Hall of Fame
And I write this to salute this humble writer, so astute

Dig! This tribute aside, please know the future may bring a critique w barbs, if applicable. “Ye who dare enter here shall ask for nor be given no quarter”
Wow, I never. Marvelissimo. How capably you've woven this pretty little tapestry in honor of Mr Wakeling, including so many ere him that I'm left nigh speechless. Very lovely and beautifully rendered. Thank you so very much for sharing.
You are way cool and very gracious. If I mai, please take a look at a recent piece I’m currently memorizing and practicing nuanced delivery for an open mic?
Thank you again
