Zeke and His Old Lady Take To the Road Again
Zeke and His Old Lady Ride Again
By Elton Camp
Men trembled when Zeke appeared
In his black leather jacket and beard
When he and his gang rode into town,
Why, even the sheriff would back down
His defiant look and motorcycle roar
Portended what might well be in store
It was Lou who his “old lady” became
Sexy and trim, she was quite a dame
On his Harley the two rode together
Terribly fearsome birds of a feather
They were the terror of the highway
As such, they couldn’t always stay
Childbirth took them off the road
The two moved into a family mode
Lou became a part-time file clerk
Zeke at a repair shop went to work
Occasionally, they will ride a bit more
But things are not as they were before
Old Zeke hobbles a lot these days
It’s two hundred pounds Lou weighs
