Message to Dougie from Howy..

PERSONAL MESSAGE: HOWY TO DOUG

(to be read out in a Black rap poet style!)

Douglas, Douglas, my man....where you bin Dood?

checking out like that - man that's just rude!

We thought you gone left us, without saying a word

Left...no goodbyes.....gone....just absurd.

I swear next time you pull a stunt like that,

I'm gonna tan your arse with a big cricket bat!

Where d'you go to anyways Dougy....was it heaven or hell

Cos I heard sometimes it's quite difficult to tell

Were you chasing the dragons in a hot fiery hole

Or was you shooting some hoops with the Lord in a celestial super bowl

Were you mixing with sinners and beggars and thieves

Or in concert with Jimi packed to the eaves?

If the place was full of bankers and politicians on the take

Then Dood, St Peter, he made one BIG BIG mistake

You deserve better than that with your life full of virtue

Sin free, clean living and things 'tween just me and you

like the time at La Push when we fired up and drank

And Jack joined us too, till the three of us sank 

But never mind where you've been these last few days

You simply left us all in a bit of a daze

I know you got brothers - all right and propers

But I'm your bro too you know - let no one try stop us

I is yo bro man - deeper than skin

Talk about Streeter clan - hell yeah - count me in!

Could you hear all our prayers from this side of the pond?

What Presidents past called our own special bond

But it's more than that - it's love - of that there's no doubt

I love you like a brother; there - I've come out!

We don't talk much Dood do we - with you miles away it's so tough

But when we get together we're ignited  - and maybe that's enough

When you get better and you're back on your feet

We gotta arrange Greece - and there we shall meet

We can do what we do best, talk, drink and rest

And remember our holidays and discuss which was best 

There's France, Croatia, wet Spain, Camper trips

To remember with fondness and wet our whistle and lips

So Douglas, my man - my friend - my brother

You is without doubt,like no one else - no other

Stick at it Bro - get stronger, come see us

We'll once again ride in a VW Camper Bus

maybe round Ireland and sink lots of Guinness

or Greece or HOT Spain - our travels to finish.

Love you Douglas!

So, I couldn't convinced the male nurse on duty from the Dominican Rep to do it for me (well he was the blackest person I could find) so it was left to me..not sure if squeaky, Yorkshire white female was what you had in mind but he chuckled away...you big old softie Howy...I'm thinking you're going to have to do this yourself when we set up a Skype chat !! He lerves you too honey...here's to sailing those seas in the not too distant future...love you j x
