Tail Of a Burro and Tale Of an Auto.

A man there is, in our town,
Who for smashing machines has
great renown,
Last Saturday night while out for
a spin,
This man was running his auto
Then floated upon the air some
strains
OF music (?) which gave this man
great pains,
In fact he never heard the likes,
Except j. came from Scotch-Bag
Pipes.
The road was smooth the night was
fine,
A burro appeared directly in line
With his auto: too late he tried to
guide,
The flying machine on the other
side.
But the burro started. backed, then
stopped,
And urgently on his side was flop
ped,
And catastrophe number four oc-
CURED
The like of which was eve heard.
The burro happened to possess.
Sides, which placed the machine in
distress,
Equal to that of the driver brave,
who wondered wo to thes burros
gave.
A right 20 roam at large at night,
And cause auto drivers such a
fright,
Strange tha' it seems: 1t is a fact.
That burro and auto met with
great impact.
Lamps bent and tenders rent.
Even the radiator put on the bum,
Humor spent. night air rent.
With 'cussing that made the at
mosphere hum.
Meanwhile the burro rose to his feet,
Glanced around solemnly and then
did beat.
Homeward TO have something put on
his side,
Where he machine scraped of all
the hide.
All that was seen was his tail a. he
flew.
The tale OF the auto. I've told to
you
