AS over the dustless and mudloss roads
In horseless carriage they whirl
Like a leadless bullet from a hammer
less gun.
BY smokeless powder driven.
They ny 10 taste the speechless JOY
BY endless union given.
Though the only lunch his coinless purse
Affords 10 meet the means
Is a tasteless meal of boneless cod
With a side" of stringless beans,
He puffs a tobaccoless cigarette,
And laughs a mirthless laugh
When papa tries TO coax her back
BY wireless telegraph.
