He spraws across and bars the way
The end seat hog.
You balance on the footboard low.
IOu cling unto the bar.
Aud wondering view the vacant rows
Until your blood is in a flame.
And you abhor this animal
Tho end seat hog.
Vainly, in desperation grim
Your way you try to squeeze
Beyond his large. protruding feet
His hard and hulbous knees.
Till when you smash his buging toes
This greedy beast To jog,
He scows and grunts in deepest ire
The end seat hog.
And so, while daily traffic rolls
And throngs go their way,
This human traction problem greets

No marsger e'er held dog
So stupid and selfish as
