In those halcyon days the world stood still,
If you’l allow a figure of speech;
A clumsy wagon filled the bill,
For any destined goal to reach.
We never then contrived a car.
Or speedy wheels without a tongue, ♦
Nor hitched our wagon to a star;
For Genius then could boast no yonng.
WASCO, OREGON
We had no tongueless wagons then,
No rubber tires, nor fetid breath,
No funeral dirge by honkers sung,
Prophetic voice of sudden death.
They didn’t then, so I have read,
Divide all souls in classes two,
Distinguish them as “quick or dead,”
As modern Jehu’s surely do.
We didn’t have to crank our car,
We got aboard and on we sped,
And whether goal were near or far.
On all the way we left no dead.
No coronor followed in our wake,
A jury to summon to tearful inquest.
Because,forsooth the steering gear,or brake,
Did not obey the drivers behest.
Then simple folk disdained to ride,
Propelled by engine, chain and sprocket,
But now alas! they over ride,
A man less speedy than the rocket.
W e may be old and out of joint,
W ith this progressive age, forsooth.
But you can’t make good the point.
That what we’ve said is not the truth.
Now that we’ve made out our case,
As lawyers one and all would say.
Up. brave men! your duty face.
And stop this diabolic play.
You may legislate, arrest and fine,
Al, this ’tis useless to essay;
The remedy is this one line;
Give pedestrians the right of way.
