My Friend Zeke Gets a Tad Tippy

My friend Ezekiel's
  a Southern polygamist hippie
When he hits the bottle
  Zeke gets a tad tippy

Can't recall all his wives' names
  Each one reminds him of 'Mary Jane'
So, here's how Zeke counts 'em
  Mighty proud, loud and plain ~

         One Missus Hippie
         Two Missus Hippie
 Hic!  Four Missus Hippie
         Five Missus Hippie...

 
 ~ Hey, Zeke, you missed one!...

I am not a drinker and I had to read it twice to understand it; I hate math so hard, the second I saw numbers I shut my brain down.

Hilariously silly old Zeke counting his Missus Hippies. Very funny.
