VELoo1pEDAI.-Tho velocipede, OF
rather tho name of tho two.whecled
go-oart has been going the rounds Of
the papers, gathering rhymes full.b'ood.
cd and rhymes allowable, as it goes.
1t is commenced with Carl Benson,
Of New York, who was challenged to
find rhyme for "velocipcdo," and
produced the following:
There was man on velocipede,
Who sold need not give my boss feed /;
Without oats or hay
Ho will 60 all the day.
It's cheap thing to keep vslocipede.
The Boston advertiser man sought
to improve it thus
There was man with velooipede,
Who said, II will not do 80 gross deed
Al make any fuss
About horse-car OF bus,
When I can ride on my velocipede."
A wretch on the Chicago Post icing
thus tempted, falls, to-wit:
There's vehicle called tho velocipede
Which is said to excel any boss for speed
So cease all your jars
About crowded street-cars,
And mount, every man, his Aelocipede.
The Cincinnati Times then makes a
shy at it with this deplorablc result
A gentleman who cannot boss steed,
Can safely ride on velocipede.
You drive with you two legs,
You feed it on shoe pegs,
And thus you fat up your velocipede.
The rhymstcr and punster of the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin let's
himself out thus
If Benson, sings the velooipede,
In prose would express all his gossip, he'd
Teach his steed how to 60
Two-wheeled or to whoa!
As becomes well mounted velociped..
Although not on the rhyming order,
let US "ruu muck" at, or rather with,
the velocipede. How will this do for a
beginning:
To find q rhyme for "velocipede"
No need to be at loss, indeed.
"Gothic steed" is lame rhyme :;
''Hoss to lead' tame rhyme,
But the boss to lead all is the velocipede.
Or if that won't do, how's this:
Der the wonderful steed, the veloc,pede,
You make q remarkable fuss, indeed:
You've only got to get on
And your muscle let on,
And you beat Pegasus on your velocipede.
Here's another
Saint Paul will soon have the velocipede
Ike Webb says that he never saw such
speed.
You don't need to saddle it
You've only to straddle it.
And off you 60 on your velocipede.
