THE sCoRCHER.

met a man with blazing eyes,
Hot drops upon his face,
Upon a quivering bicycle
Making an awful pace.
With visage grim, he ripped the ground
He rode with lightning speed,
Furiously he rode away.
Nor stick nor stay did heed.
Such tight, set teeth and bursting veins
And brow at fever heat
The wondering people stood aghast
AS he tore up the street.
Soon he commenced to gather speed,
His pedals flew around;
His wheel that flew at such a pace
Seemed scarce to touch the ground
/ gazed again-a smoke arose,
His tire was SCorching hot,
His rattling chain began to melt,
His clothes ON fire caught.
His front wheel settled on a pool
OF melted rubber and steel;
The handle bar was Scorching hot;
The hind part left the wheel!
Then all that 1 could see was left
Was him upon the seat,
And still he plowed the summer air
But never touched the street
The last 1 saw of that poor man
Was one grand burst of flame;
The moral is-look at his case
And do not do the same.
