Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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!...

Lindsay Laurie August 12, 2021 at 10:20 PM Hello Gershon ... I think your hippie might be married to the contents of the bottle Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf August 13, 2021 at 12:12 AM Tippecanoe or Tyler too... Hicco!ugh-Canoes and Hippies too! Oh, I'll figure it out someday.
