THE SPEED FIENDS
In vain 1 stand protesting to speed• -fiends as they pass: they
seem to think I'm jesting. and give their boats more gas.. The
coroner is busy.- he's checking up the deist; run down by truck
or lizzie,or auto painted red. The coroner is weary. he toils by
da? and night:.his task: is sad and dreary. and there's no end
in sight. The village copsare cha rg the fiends o'er hill and
dale. and after bitter -racing they put a few •in jail:, And then
they're tined so lightly they think it all a juke. and leave the
courtroom brightly. and make their ants smoke. Through high -
;ways residential. through traffic's busy marts. with ardor pesti-
lential they run their deadly carts. -They wing the teeing baker;
they maim the frightened clerk. and now the undertaker gets in -
his grewscme work. The doctors' nerves are busted. 5,o many'
victims yelp. the coroner's disgusted. and wildly calls for help.
And still the crazy motors go rushing' through the town. and slay
the adult voters. and mow the children down_ And when I stand
protesting the speed fiends scorn my rhyme. and jauntily go
questing far some one they can climb.
