If JOY riding makes one thin,
Is that what makes the gasoline?
The runabout is safe at home,
But, say, where was the limousine
AS Mona Lisa disappeared,
1t may be true the radiator
The critics rated her quite high
How high did the accelerator?
Are foreign missions better than
An ordinary gear transmission?
Do violets bloom in the spring
That's placed within the leather
cushion?
If you should hear funny noise,
Would the tonneau what made the
racket?
A steel jack lifts the car foot,
But how far will the water jacket?
What was it made the quadrant so
About the blowout of the tire?
1t made the wheel base was his claim,
Nor could the spark plug up his ire;
Oh, see the piston ring its hanls
Because the horn went on a toot;
1t claims the universal joint
Besmirched the cylinders with the
SCOT. Exchange.
