First Line: At a bad corner of the street
Last Line: Honk! Brakes! Meet!
Subject(s): Automobiles; Driving & Drivers; Streets; Cars; Avenues
At a bad corner of the street,
With its wet concrete,
Where the neat
Shoes of autos as they pass go "Tweet-tweet-tweet----"
Who goes skidding round the corner of the street?
One sporty bus that is Willy's;
One fast roadster which is Milly's...
Honk! Brakes! Meet!
