Ode to the Great Kudler

Springing out of my mind, out of this cageHis words but a whisper, right here on this pageJacob trembles in shame--not because of his sin But because he wears nothing but a sleeve of goatskin 
Lonely and naked, how can he rejoiceWishing to be wrapped by the warmth of voiceWhile back in the camp, Eliezer the butlerCroaks 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 shakeYes, Kuddler lets you hear the subtle clipclopOf a camel approaching, Becky perched at the top
And so at long last, by hook and by crookJacob speaks loud and clear in this audiobook
