Tlie Flivver" Lament I come from haunts of nut and bolt Where I whs put together; Along the Kina’s Highway I jolt, In various, kinds of weather. I round a corner on two wheels; I scare a pretty maiden; I do enjoy her little squeals With fearsome anger laden. I hop, I skip, I run, I jump, With many sharps and treoles; I always hit the highest bump; I rattle on the pebbles. I king, I bang, I bong, I bust, I almost go to pieces; I’m 'covered o’er with grime and rust; My action never ceases. ■ • I roam, the countryside, At night when darkness covers; Beneath the moon and stars I ride With young and hapipy lovers. Although I always hate to crow, So modest am I ever, Big cars may come, big cars may go But I (go on forever! READ YOUR BIBLE If you have the blues read the 27th Psalm.
