First Line: Interpretation is an overworked word

Subject(s): Mountain Climbing; Sports Utility Vehicles; Travel; Journeys; Trips
Interpretation is an overworked word,
When men become Modern it often is heard.
'Tis the little toboggan upon which they slide,
While their lower extremities act as their guide.
As they climb up the hill after each ride,
'Tis the Shield of their Faith behind which they hide.
They are good little boys, and they love their nice slide,
For them it is Heaven to climb and to ride.
