Ode to the Great Kudler

Springing out of my mind, out of this cage

His words but a whisper, right here on this page

Jacob trembles in shame--not because of his sin 

But because he wears nothing but a sleeve of goatskin 

Lonely and naked, how can he rejoice

Wishing to be wrapped by the warmth of voice

While back in the camp, Eliezer the butler

Croaks out of the throat of the Great Kuddler

Oh please, trust me now, this is no spelling mistake

For his voice can cuddle--but it can also shake

Yes, Kuddler lets you hear the subtle clipclop

Of a camel approaching, Becky perched at the top

And so at long last, by hook and by crook

Jacob speaks loud and clear in this audiobook
