Everett was a hobo
back in 1936
Hitching rides or
Hopping trains
Doing odd-jobs for hand-outs
Making hobo stew
Hard-drinking, hard-fighting
It was a hard life
Then he met sweet Zadia
and she turned him around
He found a job up north
a Michigan line-man
Many years later we knew them
as grandpa and grandma
(P.S. 19+36 = 55)

Family history is fun and entertaining. My grandfather worked the oil fields of Texas by day and the brothels by night. Or so I have been told. Great 55, E.
