VILLAGE BLACKSMITH"

Under a costly canopy
The village blacksmith sits;
Before him is a touring car
Broken to little bits
And the owner and the chauffeur, too
Have almost lost their wits.
The village blacksmith smiles with
glee,
As he lights his fat cigar
He tells his helpers what to do
To straighten up the car
And the owner and the chauffeur, too
Stand humbly where they are.
The village blacksmith puffs his weed
And smiles a smile Of cheer,
The while his helpers pump the tires
And monkey with the gear
And the owner and the chauffeur, too
Stand reverently near.
Behind the vilalge blacksmith is

The portal OF his shop:
The shop is very large in size
With tiled roof on the top
And the owner and the chauffeur, too,
At 1t were glad to stop.
The children, going home from school,
Look in at the open door;
They like to hear him make his bills,
And hear the owners roar
And the chauffeurs weep as they de-
clare
They ne'er paid that before
He goes each morning TO the bank
And salts away his cash;
A high silk hat and long frock coat
Help him TO cut dash
And the owner and the chauffeur. too,
Their teeth all vainly gnash.
The chestnut tree has long since died,
The smith does not repine;
His humble shop has grown into
A building big and fine
And II bears garage" above the door
On a large electric sign.
