Cad! 'Tis clearer every year
That the Horseless Horse Shows here.

Horses. it is true, there be.
But they're not put there to see,
But to make the wheels go round
For the people richly Gowned;
Forethe chappies full Of oats.
Showing off their wondrous coats;
For the maidens and the danes,
Cremest of the De La Cremes,
And the ribbons. blue and red,
Sought by horses richly bred
Will be given not to steeds
OF thel finest equine breeds,
But To youths and ladies fair,
Who are most respondent there:
Not fer points" that prove the nags,
But fRr those whose gladstone rags
AS the public passes by.
Dazzle most the watching eye.
Poor old horse: Thy day is Ger.
Human folk now have the floor
Naught is left alas! for you,
But to- seek some handy Zoo.
There ito wait the trumpet call
That takes you to your heavenly stall.
