A short single axle trailer is really fun to back up -- very squirrely. After much hilarious trial and error, DW somehow developed a sixth sense of what I should do -- I just sit behind the wheel, she gets out and waves her hands, and magic happens. The same thing happens when it is time to hitch up -- smooth as silk.
So I wrote this song about her, called "Hitchball Wizard" -- to the same tune as "Pinball Wizard:"
Ever since I was a camper
I've worked with my hitch ball
From Glacier to the Tetons
I've tried to hitch them all
But I ain't seen nothing like her
In any campground at all
That’s my own DW
Sure plays a mean Hitch Ball
She stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
She can see my bumper
Always hitches clean
She plays by intuition
That coupler neatly falls
That’s my own DW
Sure plays a mean hitch ball
She's a Hitch Ball Wizard
There's got to be a twist
A Hitch Ball wizard
She's got such a supple wrist
How do you think she does it?
(I don't know)
What makes her so good?
She never gets distracted
Can't hear the neighbors yell
Doesn't see the taillights flashing
Brings me in so well
Always gets it hooked up
Never missed the ball
That’s my own DW
Sure plays a mean hitch ball
I thought I was
The Hitch Ball Star
But I just handed
My Hitch Ball crown to her
Even on my little trailer
She can beat my best
She simply leads me in
And she just does the rest
She's got crazy waving fingers
Never seen her fall
That’s my own DW
Sure plays a mean hitch ball . . . .
