Constructor's Note
The clue for 5-Across is based on an absolutely true story! (Admittedly, though, he didn't say "dude"; I needed that for the rhyme!)

          Nice one. 5a and 1d had me confused for a bit but I got there eventually.
          Keep up the great work

              Solving this riddle? A walk in the park -- A leisurely stroll down easy street! / In fact, if you add an R to the front, you get something like it you can do with your feet.
            3. 5A
