Big Daddy Mike Zieman
is one fine racecar demon
his chef skills will keep you dreamin’
and when it comes to Farm Bureau, he’s always teamin’
He’s always on the phone,
so, good luck getting a dial tone
Ice cream is his favorite in a cone
and in the kitchen, he’s always in the zone
50 years old, he is today
I hope he never changes in any way.
Love Suzanne, Meri Whitney and Mckenzie.

The Swfit big-rigs were towed and stored by Triple A Towing, after Swift reportedly didn’t fulfil it’s financial obligation to the victim.
According to Chuck Gibson, a Dermott attorney, the trucks have been released, after Swift aggreed to satisfy the judgement against them.
