I have a snappy picture book With cuts at which I like to look. Chauffeurs in cars come driving down Macadam of some quaint old town. And ladies in their limousines Are well set off by lovely scenes. Much as if in the Middle Ages, Except the fancy equipages -- The roadster and the landaulet, The touring car and neat coupe, Painted in reds or greens or blues Or any color you may choose. They look as if perhaps you might Do eighty in them some fine night. An automobile catalogue Can certainly put on the dog. We need a new bus, Dad, you know, We should have had one long ago. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IPHIGENEIA AND AGAMEMNON, FR.
