Mr Black. <br>Two of my friends Buck and Caroline <br>(better know to one and all as Caz) <br>were planning their wedding. <br>They were going to have an official ceremony <br>on the Friday and on the Saturday; <br>they were to have another wedding in the town. <br>They asked if I would marry them in the town ceremony. <br>I told them I would be honoured. <br>Caz then went around telling everyone, <br>family and friends <br>that Dodgy Dave the vicar was going to marry them, <br>but he isn’t dodgy, <br>it’s just my pet name for him. <br>Soon everybody started calling me Dodgy Dave. <br>However, with every nice story <br>somehow sadness always intervenes. <br>Six weeks before their wedding, <br>this pretty woman who had renamed me Dodgy Dave <br>died at the tender age of thirty. <br>We held a wake for her in the town <br>on the day she and Buck were to marry. <br>It was a sad affair, <br>but her memory remains with me <br>every time someone calls me Dodgy Dave. <br>There are so many memories attached to that name. <br>It was never given out of malice, <br>but out of friendship sincere. <br>Now the name Dodgy Dave <br>has become very dear to me. <br>I use it all the time, <br>because when I do it reminds me <br>of the young woman with fair hair <br>whose friendship I treasured so <br>and I never want to let the memory of her go. <br>So there you have it <br>the story behind the christening <br>of me to Dodgy Dave</div><div style="margin:10px 0">11 March 2008</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=David+Harris">David Harris</a><div class=q>
