Gettin’ old she is…

Poem Artwork

Stickers are falling off,

The peace sign is torn,

The wipers don’t work,

Neither does the engine,

And Rufuz is gone & reborn…

 

The paint is faded,

The old rig is getting quite jaded,

Nothing more now than an 18,000 pound horse cart,

Is it the dirt or the stickers keeping it from falling apart…

 

She has one minor leak,

And in the winter its quite cold,

But even though she is this old,

She has given me many years of service,

So I dare not of her critique,

She keeps me out of the weather,

And so far has not developed any major mold…

JOISEY --- GOOD TRIBUTE!

1. WHAT'S WRONG W/ ENGINE?
2. FOR WINTER, THERE ARE INSULATED 'SKIRTS' AVAILABLE, KEEP WIND OUT FROM UNDERNEATH - SAVE YOUR MONEY - LOOK FOR 'USED' ...

PEACE CUZ ... TK.

Ed,
Enjoyed this tribute, sometimes the older they are the better made. I hope it last you 100 more years! Is Rufus Ok???

Oldies can be Goodies, indeed. And I hope she continues to treat you well, Bro. (Sounds like my loyal old Exploder that I know you love, too!)

Sir...all things get old except me
...you...your camper and the earth you walk on.
I appreciate the memory of Rufuz...
